Kate O'Connell: With regard to Deputy O'Reilly's question about the contract, my understanding was that there were not many people in paediatrics on a dual contract. Perhaps I am wrong. What proportion of paediatric consultants are on a public-private contract?

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children's Hospital: Discussion (12 Jun 2019)
Kate O'Connell: Why is this being facilitated? In my experience, there is very little private input into children's care. Sometimes, insurance companies claim fees for neonates going into intensive care and anaesthetic fees. My understanding is that there is not much list jumping when it comes to children. Why was it ever considered to put in suites which comprise approximately 10% of the building for...

Kate O'Connell: Who services the suites when, for example, cleaners are in? Are they totally paid for and do consultants then rent them and pay a fee?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children's Hospital: Discussion (12 Jun 2019)
Kate O'Connell: Will the consultants provide the service individually or will there be an external private company? For example, if there are nine rooms in a suite and ten doctors, whom the hospital wants to use, is it through company or the consultants individually that arrangements will be made? I do not want there to be potential for a private company to control the leasing. Ms Hardiman will know that...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children's Hospital: Discussion (12 Jun 2019)
Kate O'Connell: I know. I have attended many meetings at which this project has been discussed. Most of the issues have been exhausted. It is important to reiterate Dr. Curtis's point about the positive role of those who are delivering the hospital. I have made this point on many occasions. Perhaps the Chairman and the other members of the committee are aware of the state of Temple Street Hospital and...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Developments in Mental Health Services: Discussion (29 May 2019)
Kate O'Connell: I thought that was the first matter for discussion. My target is to conclude by 12.30 p.m. I hope I will not go over ground that has been covered. Reading the opening statement last night, governance and accountability in the health service stood out. I sit on the Joint Committee on Health and the Committee of Public Accounts which have discussed CervicalCheck and the national...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Developments in Mental Health Services: Discussion (29 May 2019)
Kate O'Connell: Hundreds of people are in high-support HSE units. Is their progress not being quantified? Do those people not have care pathways? Someone mentioned that there was an absence of care pathways. Does that even apply to the people in high-support HSE care? Do they not have care pathways?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Developments in Mental Health Services: Discussion (29 May 2019)
Kate O'Connell: Even if a care pathway was put together and it recommended rehabilitation in a given way, the services do not have the people to implement. Is that the case?
