Select Committee on Health: Children's Health Bill 2018: Committee Stage (17 Oct 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: When there has been a consolidation or a transfer from one body to another, the staff have been guaranteed that persons transferring to the new body have done so on conditions that were no less favourable than their existing conditions. As there is a move involved in this case, it cannot be said that the conditions are not less favourable because staff have to travel to work in a different...

Select Committee on Health: Children's Health Bill 2018: Committee Stage (17 Oct 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: The Minister of State is trying to fix a problem that does not exist. He talks about this in medical terms but, based on my understanding and my contacts with members of the medical community, doctors are not looking for this. He is trying to fix a problem that doctors do not have. He is giving the hospital the capacity to get itself into debt to borrow for equipment but he is unable to...

Select Committee on Health: Children's Health Bill 2018: Committee Stage (17 Oct 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: I move amendment No. 1: In page 6, line 9, after “section 5” to insert “, known as the Kathleen Lynn National Children’s Hospital”. I appreciate, as some people have said, that this is not the appropriate place to legislate for the name of the hospital, but if we do not do it here, then I am not sure when we are going to have the opportunity to be able...

Select Committee on Health: Children's Health Bill 2018: Committee Stage (17 Oct 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: Chairman, at this point I will withdraw the amendment, but I will resubmit it on Report Stage. For the purpose of the record, I still have to hear some good arguments for not naming the hospital after Kathleen Lynn.

Select Committee on Health: Children's Health Bill 2018: Committee Stage (17 Oct 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: I move amendment No. 3: In page 8, to delete lines 24 to 26. The purpose of this amendment is to have a discussion about the subsection. The hospital board has a mission, which is to provide paediatric health care to children across the State. It is a mystery to me why the hospital would need to become a member of a company. It seems that it would be operating nearly as a separate...

Select Committee on Health: Children's Health Bill 2018: Committee Stage (17 Oct 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: The Minister refers to the current children's hospitals and the fact that they operate as section 38 agencies. Do they have the facility that he is seeking to insert in this section, that is the facility to borrow for current purposes?

Select Committee on Health: Children's Health Bill 2018: Committee Stage (17 Oct 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: I am referring to the other three children's hospitals. I wish to understand the reason that if the three hospitals do not have this why the Minister of State would seek to introduce it now. The Minister referenced the concern I have but did not address it. It strikes me as problematic that a section 38 hospital, as we are establishing this new hospital, would have the capacity to borrow...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: New Standard Operating Procedure for Assessment of Need under the Disability Act 2005: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: I echo the point that has just been made, as it would not be early intervention if people must wait years for it. It falls at the first hurdle under the definition. I thank the witnesses for coming in. When we discussed this previously, one of the matters raised concerned the inconsistencies throughout the country. My question is simple and concerns models of best practice. Do we have...

Criminal Justice (Victims of Crime) (Amendment) Bill 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (16 Oct 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: I welcome the Bill, which will have my support and that of my party.
