Rose Conway Walsh: This affects a big chunk of people and they want the truth and they want the bloody insurance companies to accept that.
- Seanad: Order of Business (14 Nov 2018)
Rose Conway Walsh: Yesterday, a draft Brexit withdrawal agreement was agreed between the British and EU negotiators. I welcome that following all of the machinations of the past year and a half and all of the toing and froing and false starts, a suitable deal might be on the table. I use the word "might" because we have not yet had sight of what is on offer. We are hopeful that a deal which meets what Sinn...

Rose Conway Walsh: I ask Senators to have some manners. The nonsense I heard last night from some of the-----
- Seanad: Order of Business (14 Nov 2018)
Rose Conway Walsh: Sinn Féin has been consistent in calling for special status for the North within the EU. We have at all times supported the Government in what it has been trying to do throughout this process. Those who say that if Sinn Féin took its seven seats in Westminster everything would be resolved are idiots. Those who think the British Tories and others would not come together to stop...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion (14 Nov 2018)
Rose Conway Walsh: In light of the service provided by Maurice McCabe in highlighting the need for whistleblowers and giving us a clear example of what may happen to them within a system, it is important that the Minister makes a strong statement on the issue in regard to the health service. All members have first-hand anecdotal information about what happens when those within the system make a complaint on an...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion (14 Nov 2018)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion (14 Nov 2018)
Rose Conway Walsh: I ask that it be circulated to the committee. I wish to raise the case of a patient whose file noted that she needed urgent attention but that note was missed. Some 12 months later, she is terminally ill and nothing can be done for her. How long should it take for her family to be given access to her full medical file?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion (14 Nov 2018)
Rose Conway Walsh: No. If a person requests his or her full file, how long should it take for it to be made available to the person or his or her family?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion (14 Nov 2018)
Rose Conway Walsh: After 21 days, the family should be able to get the file.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion (14 Nov 2018)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion (14 Nov 2018)
Rose Conway Walsh: What happens if the patient dies while waiting for his or her file?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion (14 Nov 2018)
Rose Conway Walsh: Would that happen automatically rather than the next of kin having to go through the process again?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion (14 Nov 2018)
Rose Conway Walsh: That money could be spent on the health service. Members did not receive answers to the questions we submitted until this morning, which makes it difficult because to check the accuracy of the answers we are getting. It would be helpful in our engagement and representation of those most impacted on by our questions if we could be provided the answers a couple of days before the committee...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion (14 Nov 2018)

Rose Conway Walsh: I know.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion (14 Nov 2018)
Rose Conway Walsh: I really do appreciate it and without a doubt I absolutely commend the work that has been done, and I commend the organisations that have worked with the HSE to do this, but we need to know what happened, why it happened, why it was allowed continue, and who knew. We need a redress system in place similar to what is in place in France. I am aware of the good work that has been done but I am...

Rose Conway Walsh: There was not an awareness of the patient. There was no awareness for the woman who was taking the drug. That is the problem.
