- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Cervical Screening Programme: Department of Health, HSE, CervicalCheck and the National Cancer Control Programme (2 May 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: Did nobody think at any stage to tell the director general? Maybe they did not think it was serious. Surely they must have known that it was serious.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Cervical Screening Programme: Department of Health, HSE, CervicalCheck and the National Cancer Control Programme (2 May 2018)
Louise O'Reilly: But nobody thought it was important to bring it to the director general's attention. With regard to the cases that have been identified, the 208 and rising, how many of them are beyond the statistical rate? My understanding of Vicky Phelan's case, and I am not a doctor, is it was not within the normal range of statistical error and, in fact, when they went to look back it was not that she...

Louise O'Reilly: What about lessons from 208 cases?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Cervical Screening Programme: Department of Health, HSE, CervicalCheck and the National Cancer Control Programme (2 May 2018)
Louise O'Reilly: It is within the acceptable range.

Louise O'Reilly: Does Dr. McKenna think so or does he know so?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Cervical Screening Programme: Department of Health, HSE, CervicalCheck and the National Cancer Control Programme (2 May 2018)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Cervical Screening Programme: Department of Health, HSE, CervicalCheck and the National Cancer Control Programme (2 May 2018)
Louise O'Reilly: I understand we do not know the figures as yet.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Cervical Screening Programme: Department of Health, HSE, CervicalCheck and the National Cancer Control Programme (2 May 2018)
Louise O'Reilly: That is unfortunate. I return to how this matter came about and how it came into the public domain. The memorandum sent to the Minister states: "The Department is in consultation with the HSE in regard to their preparation of a press statement on the matter." Presumably, this was before the bombshell hit Mr. O'Brien. The HSE was clearly involved and I would like to know which personnel...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Cervical Screening Programme: Department of Health, HSE, CervicalCheck and the National Cancer Control Programme (2 May 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: As I stated, it stretches credibility beyond breaking point, if one will, that Mr. O'Brien was not aware of this. Dr. Coffey, in his memorandum to the Minister, stated he did not consider this to be a patient safety incident. I am sure he will understand the reason any woman reading the document would consider it to be very much a patient safety incident. At that stage, was Dr. Coffey...

Louise O'Reilly: I have one last point on that matter-----
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Cervical Screening Programme: Department of Health, HSE, CervicalCheck and the National Cancer Control Programme (2 May 2018)
Louise O'Reilly: It very much is a patient safety matter. I find the statement outrageous.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Cervical Screening Programme: Department of Health, HSE, CervicalCheck and the National Cancer Control Programme (2 May 2018)
Louise O'Reilly: Mr. Gleeson said he sent it to the head of screening. It would be helpful if he could associate a name with that.
