Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Infection Rate among Healthcare Workers (21 Jul 2020)

Paul McAuliffe: A number of questions I identified have already been asked so I will not ask the witnesses to answer them again. It is interesting to look back at some of the contributions and the words used. Ms Murphy used the phrase "catapulted into" and Ms Monahan spoke about the context and what Covid-19 was like. Looking back on the time when this happened, obviously, there are things we could not...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Infection Rate among Healthcare Workers (21 Jul 2020)

Paul McAuliffe: Given the availability of the flu vaccine, both for healthcare workers and, I understand, target groups - we have identified 1.9 million vaccines - the HSE does not seem to be progressing a population-wide programme with the objective that everyone in the population will have the same level of access that healthcare workers have. That will have an impact on the number of people presenting to...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Infection Rate among Healthcare Workers (21 Jul 2020)

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Infection Rate among Healthcare Workers (Resumed) (21 Jul 2020)

Paul McAuliffe: I propose to take five minutes, as will Deputy Devlin, with the latter ten minutes towards the end. I want to come back to the testimony Ms Murphy gave this morning. While she was making her own case, she was speaking on behalf of many nurses about the mental health impact and post-traumatic stress of experiencing exceptional circumstances, which, nonetheless, have left many healthcare...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Infection Rate among Healthcare Workers (Resumed) (21 Jul 2020)

Paul McAuliffe: Dr. Sisson is saying that every staff member has access to the sort of external debriefing that the INMO said in the previous session was not available.

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Infection Rate among Healthcare Workers (Resumed) (21 Jul 2020)

Paul McAuliffe: If that is the case, then there is clearly an issue. Those who are representing the workers and the workers themselves do not believe that is available and she is saying that it is. That means there has been a failure to communicate the availability of those services to people. I imagine, given that they are in a state of trauma and are going through a mental health crisis, there is an...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Infection Rate among Healthcare Workers (Resumed) (21 Jul 2020)

Paul McAuliffe: I thank Dr. Kelleher. As I said earlier, the world was catapulted into this scenario. There was clearly a lack of preparedness, not by design although there were systematic shortfalls. We struggled to keep up with what was an unexpected pandemic. There will be additional waves. We will not be able to rely on the same response and will have to be more prepared. The figures for...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Non-Covid Healthcare Disruption: Waiting Lists and Screening (17 Jul 2020)

Paul McAuliffe: I thank both organisations for attending today. I hope to use some of the responses the witnesses will give in the sessions with the HSE later on.
