Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update On Health Issues: Discussion (10 Nov 2016)

Louise O'Reilly: I wish to address a matter that was fairly conveniently not raised in Mr. O'Brien's opening statement, which is the memorandum that was sent. I note that the Minister for Health was outraged, as I was. I am well used to reading memoranda from the HSE. In fact, this morning is a little like a reunion of the national joint council. The memorandum that was sent was disgraceful. How is it...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update On Health Issues: Discussion (10 Nov 2016)

Louise O'Reilly: I did not see the memorandum but watched the RTE reports on the issue. It is my understanding that the memorandum contained a reference to the use of minimal force.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update On Health Issues: Discussion (10 Nov 2016)

Louise O'Reilly: The use of force, minimal or otherwise, should not be encouraged in any circumstances, however limited.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update On Health Issues: Discussion (10 Nov 2016)

Louise O'Reilly: The Minister referenced the ballot for industrial action by the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation that is currently under way. I suspect its members will be joined by other colleagues in the health service. You would not need a crystal ball to figure that one out.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update On Health Issues: Discussion (10 Nov 2016)

Louise O'Reilly: What does the Minister call the deal that was done with the Garda? A deal was done with the Garda which will cost more than €60 million. I do not know the exact cost, but it is extensive. Is that being done at the expense of services? That is the argument the Minister is making, that if he settles a dispute with the INMO he will have to cut the services somewhere else.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update On Health Issues: Discussion (10 Nov 2016)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update On Health Issues: Discussion (10 Nov 2016)

Louise O'Reilly: I seek clarification from the Minister of State, Deputy McEntee, on the percentage increase for the number of nurses. I am aware, as are the witnesses, that the age profile of psychiatric nurses indicates there is a significant number of retirements coming up so the figure given by the witnesses has factored in all the retirements and the differences relating to the preserved pension age. I...
