Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Open Disclosure: Department of Health (13 Oct 2016)

Louise O'Reilly: I have a number of difficulties with what we are dealing with here. Many of them stem from my experience as someone who would have supported health professionals through the system. As the system stands, it is incredibly adversarial, not just for the patients, who, of course, must be central, but also for the staff themselves. Regulated health professionals have an arena in which issues...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Open Disclosure: Department of Health (13 Oct 2016)

Louise O'Reilly: May I clarify something? I do not want to labour the point but I referred to the context of an investigation. As a result of the adversarial nature of investigations, the length of time they take and the fact that people can end up with representation from legal personnel or trade unions it turns into an adversarial process. This is where the training element comes in. The person who is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Open Disclosure: Department of Health (13 Oct 2016)

Louise O'Reilly: That is not what anyone wants. I have a very firm view that if there is mandatory disclosure obligation or otherwise, then training would be mandatory. If training is no mandatory we are doing health professionals and health workers a disservice.

Louise O'Reilly: In the trailer we hear about 1,000 new nurses. Let us look at the Government's track record in this regard. The last time there was a "Bring Them Home" campaign 12,000 nurses were targeted. A total of 92 nurses returned, some of whom, according to the unions, have gone abroad ahead or moved to the private sector, but they have left the public service. Perhaps the Minister of State might...

I was interested to know how a pretend disagreement was manufactured when clearly these two right-wing parties agree on so much. What emerged was a mini-series that could have been scripted by the men and women who wrote "Dallas", complete with a comical script. The health...

Louise O'Reilly: I thank Dr. Figueras for a very interesting presentation. I understand there is a view that our doctors are among the highest paid. As our Government keeps getting fined by the European Union for breaches of the European Time Working Directive, I am sure we can all agree that they are among the hardest working. I am not sure I would agree that they are among the highest paid but that is...
