Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Medical Indemnity Insurance Costs: Discussion (Resumed) (27 Jan 2015)

Regina Doherty: I thank everyone in attendance, particularly Ms Deirdre Courtney and her husband Brendan. I have nothing but admiration for Ms Courtney's courage and conviction in fighting the case of her lovely little lady. She is the spit of her mammy. I congratulate Ms Courtney and thank her as I acknowledge it must be difficult to attend today. I do not know whether the witnesses can answer my...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Accident and Emergency Departments: Department of Health and Health Service Executive (15 Jan 2015)

Regina Doherty: I thank the witness for the presentation. Every time the Minister has spoken in recent weeks he has been very careful to say that it is not always about money. However, with the exception of one, all of the things he has done and that he has said have worked in recent weeks have required money. The only thing I can find that does not require money is that section in Mr. O'Brien's speech on...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Accident and Emergency Departments: Department of Health and Health Service Executive (15 Jan 2015)

Regina Doherty: What about the Lourdes hospital?

Order of Business (14 Jan 2015)

Regina Doherty: When does the Taoiseach expect the Employment Equality (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill to be passed by the Dáil? It appears to be stuck on Committee Stage. We propose to hold a referendum this year on marriage equality, but employment equality is within our gift. Will the Taoiseach pay particular attention to moving it beyond Committee Stage, please?

Order of Business (14 Jan 2015)

Regina Doherty: Yes. It is to amend section 37(1) of the Employment Equality Act 1998.

Leaders' Questions (14 Jan 2015)

Regina Doherty: Such double standards.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Prevention and Treatment of Lyme Disease: Discussion (Resumed) (18 Dec 2014)

Regina Doherty: Notwithstanding the arrows being thrown around with regard to particular institutions, how would one conduct a test for Lyme disease if there were no antibodies? The witnesses have spent the past number of hours explaining that one will get a diagnosis if one is testing for the disease itself or the body's reaction to antibodies. How can somebody go to Timbuktu and get tested and receive a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Prevention and Treatment of Lyme Disease: Discussion (Resumed) (18 Dec 2014)

Regina Doherty: If somebody travels and tests positive, then something has been found, albeit something in the person's mouth-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Prevention and Treatment of Lyme Disease: Discussion (Resumed) (18 Dec 2014)

Regina Doherty: I have two further questions arising from the delegates' responses to my earlier questions. Lest Dr. Cryan thought I was insinuating anything about the calibre of any person, I was not. I apologise if that impression was given; I was only trying to tease something out. Dr. Cryan has stated that in the case of 30% of the tests carried out the results are negative. Is there a common...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Prevention and Treatment of Lyme Disease: Discussion (Resumed) (18 Dec 2014)

Regina Doherty: I ask the witnesses to intervene if my questions have been asked by previous speakers. I was struck by the differences between the figures provided by Dr. Bonner and Dr. Cryan on the number of patients who were diagnosed with Lyme disease last year. Will the witnesses explain the difference between their figures? Both Dr. Bonner and Dr. Cryan suggested that Lyme disease is underdiagnosed....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Prevention and Treatment of Lyme Disease: Discussion (Resumed) (18 Dec 2014)

Regina Doherty: I apologise for interrupting but why are there so many misdiagnoses?

Regina Doherty: Why is there so much misdiagnosis?

Written Answers — Department of Health: Orthodontic Service Provision (18 Dec 2014)

Regina Doherty: 350. To ask the Minister for Health in view of the recent change in dental health policy announced by the Health Service Executive to concentrate on older children regarding orthodontic treatment, if he will provide an accurate date for treatment in respect of a person (details supplied). [48823/14]

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Áras Attracta: HSE (16 Dec 2014)

Regina Doherty: Arising from what Dr. Crowley said to me, could he provide to committee members the result of the post-discharge surveys based on the tool purchased from the United Kingdom? What is the trend arising from the data collected and the consequent recommendations? Could he provide us with information on his engagement with and support of the patient safety and quality agenda group? How has the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Áras Attracta: HSE (16 Dec 2014)

Regina Doherty: I ask Dr. Crowley to qualify what he has said by giving the committee "a who, where, what, when and how" as what he has outlined is very broad? We need raw data or reports to look at.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Áras Attracta: HSE (16 Dec 2014)

Regina Doherty: I thank the HSE for what has been presented so far, but it does not fill me with much confidence and I do not say that lightly. The programme broadcast last week was, to say the least, absolutely shocking, but rather than focusing on individual issues within Áras Attracta, I concur with the comments made by Ms Lorraine Dempsey when interviewed for that programme: that the buck on this...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: HIQA Review of National Ambulance Service: Health Service Executive (16 Dec 2014)

Regina Doherty: I merely wish to ask one of my questions again. Perhaps I did not frame it in the appropriate way in order to obtain the right answer. Will Ms McGuinness indicate what are ICO vehicles and where they are based? How is the data relating to them being analysed? What kind of patients are being transported in them? How long are the average journey times for patients being transported in...

Regina Doherty: Why is the service collecting these data if it is not doing anything with them?
