2016 Financial Statements of the State Claims Agency
2016 Financial Statements of the HSE (10 May 2018) Peter Burke: In terms of having confidence in the programme, CervicalCheck seemed to be working in isolation. I seek a stronger assurance that robust procedures are in place to detect anomalies in other screening programmes. I do not feel confident having listened to what has been said.

2016 Financial Statements of the State Claims Agency
2016 Financial Statements of the HSE (10 May 2018) Peter Burke: The HSE is a large organisation. Why were there no indicators to show there was no two-way check for the CervicalCheck programme? Why would such a situation not come to the forefront? Clearly, there was two-way data exchange for BreastCheck. Why was the same system not put in place for CervicalCheck?

2016 Financial Statements of the State Claims Agency
2016 Financial Statements of the HSE (10 May 2018) Peter Burke: I am sure that the HSE applies risk assessment procedures on a regular basis. If one has two separate lists or two cohorts of patients, one of which has those who developed cancer but had gone through screening, then the original tests should be checked again for anomalies. That is a basic thing that should happen with screening.

2016 Financial Statements of the State Claims Agency
2016 Financial Statements of the HSE (10 May 2018) Peter Burke: It was also a failure of the system not to pick up that there was no audit process under way. Screening programmes should be risk assessed. When the programme commenced a decade ago, it was groundbreaking for Irish people in that the scheme could prevent or save people from developing cancer.

2016 Financial Statements of the State Claims Agency
2016 Financial Statements of the HSE (10 May 2018) Peter Burke: I find it hard to understand why checks and audits were not a fundamental part of the programme and why, for the people who developed cancer, that their original tests were not audited and checked. It is a fundamental core issue that should be happening within the system.

- Topical Issue Debate: Wards of Court (9 May 2018)
Peter Burke: I would be grateful if the Minister of State would confirm that he will investigate this issue or have the Department ask the HSE to conduct a review of the case. With regard to liberty and freedom in terms of bringing an elderly patient home, it is worrying for me to hear the HSE refer to putting the patient first when it said in correspondence to me that it was only clarified in early...
- Topical Issue Debate: Wards of Court (9 May 2018)
Peter Burke: I thank the Minister of State for attending to take this matter. According to an article in the Irish Examinerby Caroline O'Doherty, 25,000 elderly patients may be held illegally in nursing homes or residential settings. The article also mentioned that a new State agency, the Decision Support Service, was being established to oversee the Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) Act. When I read...
