- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Electronic Health Records: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)
Martin Conway: It is like reading a book with a few good chapters but the book overall may not be good. In this situation, 90% of what was envisaged in the 2015 plan has not really been delivered, which is an outrageous indictment of the entire HSE organisation. The HSE is in a situation where a plan was published, which was not destined to end up on a shelf for any particular reason, but would make a...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Health (Termination of Pregnancy Services (Safe Access Zones)) Bill 2022: Department of Health (Resumed) (18 Jan 2023)
Martin Conway: Mr. O'Connor and his team are very welcome. It is very complex. I have been critical in the past that this has not happened quicker. I still hold that position but like everyone else here I understand it is complex and difficult and that it will be challenged so it has to be got right. We can be sure there will be challenges to this legislation. How hands-on is the Minister, Deputy...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Health (Termination of Pregnancy Services (Safe Access Zones)) Bill 2022: Department of Health (Resumed) (18 Jan 2023)
Martin Conway: Has the team had engagement with other Members of the Oireachtas beyond the Minister on a private basis to update them or is it just through this committee?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Health (Termination of Pregnancy Services (Safe Access Zones)) Bill 2022: Department of Health (Resumed) (18 Jan 2023)
Martin Conway: The Department has not engaged otherwise. I know other colleagues have asked this question but for the record again, what is the time limit? When does Mr. Conway expect this legislation will be enacted?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Health (Termination of Pregnancy Services (Safe Access Zones)) Bill 2022: Department of Health (Resumed) (18 Jan 2023)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Health (Termination of Pregnancy Services (Safe Access Zones)) Bill 2022: Department of Health (Resumed) (18 Jan 2023)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Challenges Facing Emergency Departments in Public Hospitals: HSE (17 Jan 2023)
Martin Conway: First, I acknowledge the heroic work done by the men and women on the front line in accident and emergency departments throughout the country. One thing that was missing from Mr. Mulvany's opening statement was any kind of an apology to the thousands of people who found themselves on trolleys over the past number of weeks. In his capacity as CEO of the HSE, perhaps he would like to...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Challenges Facing Emergency Departments in Public Hospitals: HSE (17 Jan 2023)
Martin Conway: Does Mr. Mulvany feel that there were systems failures in recent weeks in terms of the HSE's response to what was a well-flagged emergency situation that had hit other countries prior to arising here? Does he accept that the HSE's response was lacklustre, to say the least?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Challenges Facing Emergency Departments in Public Hospitals: HSE (17 Jan 2023)
Martin Conway: Why did Mr. Mulvany wait until 22 December to activate the emergency response?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Challenges Facing Emergency Departments in Public Hospitals: HSE (17 Jan 2023)
Martin Conway: Does Mr. Mulvany accept that the winter plan has been an unmitigated disaster, that none of the targets it contains were met and that the model of intervention has to be reviewed?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Challenges Facing Emergency Departments in Public Hospitals: HSE (17 Jan 2023)
Martin Conway: I want to drill down for a minute. Mr. Mulvany was here before the committee on 16 November. I engaged with him on the winter plan. I think Ms Mary Day said then, in response to my questioning, that she was engaging with the private hospitals and that discussions were ongoing on requisitioning beds from private hospitals. Mr. Mulvany's opening statement today tells us that that engagement...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Challenges Facing Emergency Departments in Public Hospitals: HSE (17 Jan 2023)
Martin Conway: There was a critical incident protocol in the University Hospital Limerick, UHL. I think it was announced on 3 January. That suggests to me that UHL was the worst of all the hospitals in the country in the trolley crisis. Can Mr. Mulvany confirm what I was told at a briefing last week that of the 180 private beds used throughout the State, only five were requisitioned by the UL Hospitals...
