Questions on Proposed Legislation (19 Oct 2016)

Louise O'Reilly: I refer the Taoiseach to page 57 of the programme for Government which states,"We will ensure appropriate care pathways... including the provision of hospice and 'end of life care' during the perinatal period, infancy, childhood and adulthood." That is a commitment to provide end-of-life care to children and babies. People outside this Chamber who watch the proceedings in here are...

Louise O'Reilly: That is in Dublin.

Select Committee on the Future of Healthcare: The Cancer Strategy as a Case Study of Health Service Reform: Professor Tom Keane (19 Oct 2016)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank Professor Keane for his comprehensive overview. As a trade union representative, I attended a number of his presentations. There was early buy-in from the trade unions. That was essential. It would even have been the case in advance of Professor Keane's appointment, as the parameters for the buy-in had been laid down as part of a national wage agreement that had been negotiated...

Select Committee on the Future of Healthcare: The Cancer Strategy as a Case Study of Health Service Reform: Professor Tom Keane (19 Oct 2016)

Louise O'Reilly: It was not just a pay agreement. It was pay and productivity. One of the elements was co-operation with a range of measures and the national cancer control programme was one. The other was matching working patterns to service needs.

Select Committee on the Future of Healthcare: The Cancer Strategy as a Case Study of Health Service Reform: Professor Tom Keane (19 Oct 2016)

Louise O'Reilly: On that note, there was an overarching agreement that was very helpful but there was also a plan, which was perhaps key to - I will use an awful phrase - the buy-in from health care professionals. They could see where it was going, and it was not seen as change simply for the sake of it. There was an identifiable plan and significant political support for it. That goes back to what we have...

Other Questions: National Treatment Purchase Fund (18 Oct 2016)

Louise O'Reilly: This question relates to the National Treatment Purchase Fund, NTPF. I seek a breakdown of the manner in which the money was spent, the specific services and procedures that were procured and how priorities will be decided for the future NTPF, particularly in light of the fact that we have just had a discussion on the manner in which waiting lists operate and the fact it is difficult to have...

Other Questions: National Treatment Purchase Fund (18 Oct 2016)

Louise O'Reilly: The Minister outlined that the NTPF performs a range of functions. It might, but not one of those addresses in any meaningful or long-term way our hospital waiting lists. I would not ask the Minister to take my word for it. Dr. Sara Burke confirmed it to the Oireachtas Committee on the Future of Healthcare when she addressed us. It is counter-intuitive to suggest pumping money into the...

Other Questions: National Treatment Purchase Fund (18 Oct 2016)

Louise O'Reilly: We do not know enough for the Minister to say with any confidence that the NTPF will have anything other than a very short-term effect of temporarily massaging the figures. I do not think it will have any real impact. I do not think the Minister does either. Regarding the follow-up that goes with the NTPF and the purchase of private health care, we are having an ideological debate here and...

Other Questions: Hospital Waiting Lists (18 Oct 2016)

Louise O'Reilly: I will not shock the Minister because I have asked him about this matter on a number of occasions. We have proposed an integrated system of waiting lists. It is a very good system. In fact, the Minister is on record as saying that it has some merits. I have contacted the Minister's office several times and he has said publicly that he would like to meet us to discuss the matter. I am...
