- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Electronic Health Records: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)
Martin Conway: I will just go on to the situation. I think we here are all very taken aback at the lack of progress, to say the least, regarding the commitments in the 2020 programme for Government. Clearly, it is black and white. Three years into the present Government, commitments concerning e-health in the programme for Government are not being met. This is a political issue and an issue for the HSE....
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Electronic Health Records: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)
Martin Conway: The HSE publishes a plan but of the plans that have been published, taking the cyberattack and Covid-19 out, none of the HSE's plans has been delivered since 2015, neither the yearly plan nor the HSE's overarching plan. There have been no deliverables in any real, tangible sense that will make a difference in creating an e-health system in this country.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Electronic Health Records: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)
Martin Conway: As Deputy Shortall pointed out, there are examples of good practice but they are few and far between. Take the plan published in 2015, which involved a costing of €900 million. Does Mr. Thompson agree that 90% of that plan has not been delivered?
- 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)
Martin Conway: I understand and that is important. I will put it this way - will we see the legislation enacted by the end of 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)
Martin Conway: Obviously, it has to be published and then it has to go through both Houses.

- 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?
