Jim Daly: I move amendment No. 39: In page 86, line 31, to delete "The Council" and substitute the following: "(1) The Council". I want to alert Deputies to the fact this is the amendment we were referring to earlier. In 2008, the HSE introduced a requirement that consultants be registered on the specialist division of the Medical Council register. Consultants appointed prior to 2008 under the...

Select Committee on Health: Regulated Professions (Health and Social Care) (Amendment) Bill 2019: Committee Stage (25 Sep 2019)

Jim Daly: They were correctly appointed as consultants, but they missed the window to register at the time. That is the qualification. As I said, they have the necessary experience and training. There is a difficulty which, to be fair, is more than technical. They have to satisfy the Medical Council, but it is important to appreciate that these consultants are properly qualified. They hold their...

Select Committee on Health: Regulated Professions (Health and Social Care) (Amendment) Bill 2019: Committee Stage (25 Sep 2019)

Jim Daly: It is complicated. I know that is the Deputy’s sense of it also. I have heard him speak on the issue many times. The specialist register requires an additional layer of qualifications. It requires certain qualifications for people to be allowed to work as consultants. They include certain training and experience. The people concerned need to work with the Medical Council to have...

Select Committee on Health: Regulated Professions (Health and Social Care) (Amendment) Bill 2019: Committee Stage (25 Sep 2019)

Jim Daly: By way of background, the specialist register was established in 2008. As I said, this cohort includes 30 or 40 consultants. This provision does not reduce standards in any way, shape or form, nor does it make it easier for anybody, but there was a cohort of consultants who did not qualify for inclusion in the specialist register during that period. They were not eligible or missed the...

Jim Daly: I apologise for not being coherent and clear enough. I understand the importance of the issue and I am trying to understand it. There was a five-year window for consultants who were in place, qualified and had received appropriate training and experience to be included in the specialist register. There is no question about their qualifications, but they did not avail of the opportunity in...

Select Committee on Health: Regulated Professions (Health and Social Care) (Amendment) Bill 2019: Committee Stage (25 Sep 2019)

Jim Daly: That was not correct. I appreciate that the previous contribution I made was more helpful than some of my previous contributions. The reason there was a five-year window was that we might have required applicants to have an additional layer of qualifications to be on the specialist register. The five-year window allowed for that. The people involved were perfectly qualified, trained and...
