- Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill 2016: From the Seanad (5 Jul 2018)
Catherine Murphy: I have very similar concerns and I echo what was said about the process that has been followed in the Seanad in terms of introducing some of the amendments at a very late stage. If one gets a process wrong, very often one gets a poor outcome. I do not know how many times we have talked about that here. Sometimes we have had to come back and amend things later on. We have had experience...
- Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill 2016: From the Seanad (5 Jul 2018)
Catherine Murphy: It is only right that, instead of a fragmented approach, we take an approach where land use and transportation planning are linked. The lack of a connection previously led to considerable congestion that could have been planned for better. It is important that the national planning framework and the national development plan are to be related to each other. I may not be a fan of the...
- Public Accounts Committee: Implications of CervicalCheck Revelations (Resumed) (5 Jul 2018)
Catherine Murphy: This whole debacle started off about mandatory disclosure and women not being told their results. We are still at this point months later and people are not able to get their files. Why are they not able to get them? We have been constantly told that the HSE will give them their files. Why are we still hearing they are not able to get their files? We now know the number of cases is 28....
- Public Accounts Committee: Implications of CervicalCheck Revelations (Resumed) (5 Jul 2018)
Catherine Murphy: Is it true that at this stage 80 women, or their legal representatives, in that cohort of 209 women have not got their files?
- Public Accounts Committee: Implications of CervicalCheck Revelations (Resumed) (5 Jul 2018)

Catherine Murphy: Therefore, people could be waiting for months. Is that the case?
- Public Accounts Committee: Implications of CervicalCheck Revelations (Resumed) (5 Jul 2018)
Catherine Murphy: However, there is an impediment. The HSE has a contract with these laboratories to carry out work. It is not that the laboratories own the slides afterwards. I cannot understand why there would be an issue with retrieving those slides or demanding that they be retrieved?
- Public Accounts Committee: Implications of CervicalCheck Revelations (Resumed) (5 Jul 2018)
Catherine Murphy: There is an issue in practice.
- Public Accounts Committee: Implications of CervicalCheck Revelations (Resumed) (5 Jul 2018)
Catherine Murphy: We hear there are 28 cases and that number is increasing, is that from a cohort of 209 or 221 women?
- Public Accounts Committee: Implications of CervicalCheck Revelations (Resumed) (5 Jul 2018)
Catherine Murphy: It might not be that easy to do.
- Public Accounts Committee: Implications of CervicalCheck Revelations (Resumed) (5 Jul 2018)
Catherine Murphy: I want to discuss the point I pursued with the witnesses previously regarding the slides. They separated two elements, telling us that the medical files were one matter, while the slides were another. I have examined the contracts with Quest Diagnostics and MedLab Pathology. They are similar, if not identical. Under the heading of "Storage and Disaster Recovery" on page 12, the contractor...
- Public Accounts Committee: Implications of CervicalCheck Revelations (Resumed) (5 Jul 2018)
Catherine Murphy: Does the HSE talk to the laboratories? Does it tell them that it wants the slides to be made available within three days as per the terms of the contract?
- Public Accounts Committee: Implications of CervicalCheck Revelations (Resumed) (5 Jul 2018)
Catherine Murphy: Yes.
- Public Accounts Committee: Implications of CervicalCheck Revelations (Resumed) (5 Jul 2018)
Catherine Murphy: Has the HSE done that?
- Public Accounts Committee: Implications of CervicalCheck Revelations (Resumed) (5 Jul 2018)
Catherine Murphy: Therefore, CervicalCheck is separate from the HSE. To whom am I speaking about responsibility today?
- Public Accounts Committee: Implications of CervicalCheck Revelations (Resumed) (5 Jul 2018)

2016 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 38 - Department of Health (5 Jul 2018) Catherine Murphy: I have a small question to begin with so that I do not forget about it. Mr. Breslin said that in 2017, the Department processed more than 11,000 parliamentary questions, 22% of all parliamentary questions for Ministers across Government. I know from my experience that practically everything I table in parliamentary questions to the Department of Health receives a one line reply, referring...
