Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Workforce Planning in the Irish Health Sector: Discussion (Resumed) (13 Nov 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: I have raised the presence of security guards with the Minister on a number of occasions. To be fair, his response is that they prioritise the health and safety of staff. Is it common for a security guard not to be physically present? The response I sometimes get is that there will be a security presence in the hospital but it will not necessarily be in the emergency department. Does the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Workforce Planning in the Irish Health Sector: Discussion (Resumed) (13 Nov 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: That correlates with the information I have. Regarding the winter plan, and I know this was raised previously, will Ms Ní Sheaghdha outline best practice because we love that? It involves best international practice and looking at somewhere where they are getting it right, where they are getting their winter initiative and planning correct and are bang on the money. I assume they...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Workforce Planning in the Irish Health Sector: Discussion (Resumed) (13 Nov 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: It is déjà vu. On the engagement of graduates, in her presentation Ms Ní Sheaghdha said there would need to be a 50% uplift in the numbers we were training to shore up the deficit. Are efforts being made with the colleges to that end? It would be an awful shame if any effort to increase numbers was only to the benefit of the private sector, as well as hospitals in Britain,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Workforce Planning in the Irish Health Sector: Discussion (Resumed) (13 Nov 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: I am not convinced that they will be increased to the levels required. I note the discussions with the private educator, but I am not convinced that it will shore up the gap in any meaningful way. I thank the representatives of the INMO for coming as I know that they are busy, but it is very useful for us to get the picture from the front line. I thank INMO members for the work they do...

Regulated Professions (Health and Social Care) (Amendment) Bill 2019: Report and Final Stages (6 Nov 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: Let us wait and see. Can the Minister confirm that as part of the preliminary proceedings or the fitness to practise committees, there will be a member of the profession on which the adjudication is being made, for example, a nurse where the adjudication is on a nurse and a midwife where the adjudication is on a midwife? My intention is to ensure that happens. I do not want to undo...

Regulated Professions (Health and Social Care) (Amendment) Bill 2019: Report and Final Stages (6 Nov 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: I move amendment No. 20: In page 135, to delete lines 15 to 18. This section proposes to amend the primary legislation, the Nurses and Midwives Act, in a manner which appears unnecessary. It is burdensome in a financial, administrative and personal respect and it will have the unintended consequence of unnecessarily exposing registrants who are suffering from illness to the glare of...

Regulated Professions (Health and Social Care) (Amendment) Bill 2019: Report and Final Stages (6 Nov 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: I move amendment No. 7: In page 41, to delete lines 1 to 14. This section is opposed for the same reasons as I outlined in respect of previous amendments. It has to do with publication. The Minister and I have had a discussion and we agree that we must put the public interest first. I am seeking only to afford a modicum of protection to an individual against whom a finding, even a...
