Hospital Emergency Departments: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (14 Jan 2016)

Regina Doherty: Undoubtedly, the Fianna Fáil spokesperson can speak eloquently and has a particular turn of phrase, but his criticisms of the current state of affairs and the money that has been removed from health in the four years prior to this one are ironic, given that there was no recognition of the fact that there was no money in the first place because of Fianna Fáil's management while in...

Hospital Emergency Departments: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (14 Jan 2016)

Regina Doherty: These facts speak for themselves. Fianna Fáil had nothing to discuss at the launch of its advertising campaign yesterday but Fine Gael. Instead of taking the opportunity of this motion to debate the virtue of the health policy that it announced a couple of weeks ago, Sinn Féin has discussed the suffering of patients and families purely for the purpose of political point scoring...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Acute Hospital Services: Discussion (17 Dec 2015)

Regina Doherty: I thank the witnesses for their volunteering, for giving of their time and for their commitment to the project in recent years because it is a testament to the quality that currently is on the board. I wish to add a tiny note to the effect it is sad that Mr. O'Flynn was obliged to say - I know why he said it - he was pleased the boards now are based on competency as opposed to the way it...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Task Force on Overcrowding in Accident and Emergency Departments: Discussion (17 Dec 2015)

Regina Doherty: I thank everybody for coming in this morning and, in particular, Mr. O'Brien for his statement. What impact do the witnesses expect the negotiations, which are hopefully concluded and will be agreed by the INMO membership after Christmas, to have on the day-to-day running of the emergency departments nationally? Is it tangible? Is it possible to estimate by what factor it will reduce the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Task Force on Overcrowding in Accident and Emergency Departments: Discussion (17 Dec 2015)

Regina Doherty: In fact, it is. If the Chairman does not mind bearing with me for one second, I am not being critical at all. The reason I was sad is that we have nearly 100,000 people, who Mr. O'Brien represents so ably, delivering what are, in the main, quality services. Mr. O'Brien is correct that we get beaten up 100% of the time for the 2% of the time that people make mistakes. While we do not...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Task Force on Overcrowding in Accident and Emergency Departments: Discussion (17 Dec 2015)

Regina Doherty: My question is for Mr. Woods. I thank him for the sheet he circulated. Regarding the eight beds that were opened in Drogheda and remain open, which is great, do they reflect the side bar deal that was done with Tony Fitzpatrick and the INMO six or eight months ago? I am continually told we reneged on that deal because we had not bothered to recruit all the nurses required to open the beds....
