Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on the CervicalCheck Screening Programme: Discussion (18 Sep 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: Is it international best practice for reviewers not to have any of that knowledge in advance of conducting the review? People have appeared before us to tell us about the potential for review bias and we are aware that this is an issue. In this case, would I be right in suggesting there is an increased chance of review bias in the RCOG review by virtue of the fact that while the reviewers...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on the CervicalCheck Screening Programme: Discussion (18 Sep 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: Is there a way of factoring that in, in order that the Department can get the best result from the review? Are the witnesses saying it is common practice for that knowledge to be with the reviewer in any event? Given where we are, let us differentiate between common practice and best practice.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on the CervicalCheck Screening Programme: Discussion (18 Sep 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: I apologise if I missed this. My next question is for the representatives from INAB. I understand they do not like to use the term "retrospective accreditation" but I think we all know what I mean when I say it. There is no other circumstance in which what I am referring to as retrospective accreditation would be done. The witnesses will understand that it seems to stretch credibility...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on the CervicalCheck Screening Programme: Discussion (18 Sep 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: I know. This question has already been asked. I am not sure whether this was answered 100%. Under normal circumstances, someone would get accreditation and start to do the work. These people were doing the work and accreditation was given afterwards. The best we can get is we see no reason why there would have been any problem because we do not necessarily believe that there was a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on the CervicalCheck Screening Programme: Discussion (18 Sep 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: That is good to know. It seems very generous to apply that lookback for whatever reason. I can fully understand they could be carrying out all the accreditation they like and then when they apply to the INAB for that accreditation only then does that process start and they get it from whenever they get it. However, in this instance effectively what Dr. Duff is saying is, "They did not have...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (11 Jul 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: The Tánaiste's response will do absolutely nothing to encourage psychiatric nurses to undertake overtime. It is not the first time they have done this and it should not come as a surprise. I was on my tools the last time they did it in 2007. It did have a devastating impact but it did bring the parties to the table and it brought a resolution. The Tánaiste did not address the...
