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

Regina Doherty: I thank all the speakers for their comments and the information given thus far. Some of the questions I was to ask have already been answered so I will hone in on two points, the first of which pertains to Mr. Dunne in particular. One of the most worrying points made to us a couple of weeks ago arising from the HIQA report was on the fact that there were people in senior positions appointed...

General Scheme of Sale of Loan Books to Unregulated Third Parties Bill 2014: Discussion (3 Dec 2014)

Regina Doherty: I am curious as to why there were so few submissions to the public consultation process. A large number of people had their mortgages transferred through the sale of IBRC, Irish Bank Resolution Corporation, to two companies which were given colourful names at the time. There were serious and genuine concerns arising from the fact they would not be protected, yet there were only 19...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Ambulance Service Review: Health Information and Quality Authority (2 Dec 2014)

Regina Doherty: While I see what the Chairman is saying, I am unsure about that. Even were the capacity report to conclude that 50% more staff members were required, that would not address some of the issues discussed today, including some serious issues such as people being in senior management positions without the skills to provide that service. This probably is the key starting point as to why the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Ambulance Service Review: Health Information and Quality Authority (2 Dec 2014)

Regina Doherty: To come back to what Deputy Ó Caoláin is saying, this should not be anecdotal as there is a patient safety authority. There is a patient safety director within the HSE and I would like to know what he thinks of this report and what actions he actually is taking in this regard.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Ambulance Service Review: Health Information and Quality Authority (2 Dec 2014)

Regina Doherty: Every time HIQA officials appear before the committee, the quality of the information they provide is superb. From an efficiency perspective, I wish we had more statutory agencies that worked along the same lines as it. I wish Mr. Quinn the best of luck in his new role. Both the NAS and Dublin Fire Brigade have appeared before the committee singing the praises of the services they offer...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Mortgage Insurance Schemes: Discussion (27 Nov 2014)

Regina Doherty: In the markets in which the witnesses' firms are currently operating, how much of a draw is there on the insurance policies that have been sold? For argument's sake, take the two examples of Finland and Canada. Is there a high draw on insurance policies in Canada, where it is compulsory? Is it different in Finland? Are the markets different?
