Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Maternity Strategy: Discussion (19 Jan 2017)

Kate O'Connell: I am sorry for missing the presentation as I was in the Chamber. I do not wish to repeat anything that has been said already. Following on from Deputy Louise O'Reilly's point about the scanning rate in Cork University Hospital and the incorrect data she received originally. To my mind that signifies something a lot more serious in that if one does not know what the rate of scanning is,...

Select Committee on the Future of Healthcare: Health Service Reform: Dr. Brian Turner (25 Jan 2017)

Kate O'Connell: I apologise for being late and hope I do not repeat questions that have already been asked of the witness. Deputy Harty made reference to a suite of services but I would prefer to call it a menu. Who does Dr. Turner believe is best placed to draw up the basic menu or suite of services to which people will be entitled? How will that be worked through? Deputy Barry spoke about moving things...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Emergency Department Overcrowding: Discussion (25 Jan 2017)

Kate O'Connell: I thank the delegations for coming before us. I almost feel I am friends with them at this stage as I see them at so many committee meetings. I will try to be as quick as possible and I will have to excuse myself immediately because I am supposed to be attending the water committee meeting as well. I must show my face but I will look back at the replies here. The figures for...

[4536/17]

Select Committee on the Future of Healthcare: Health Service Reform: Health Information and Quality Authority (1 Feb 2017)

Kate O'Connell: I thank the witnesses for coming in. I think we all rest a little easier after hearing their submissions. Maybe that is just me. In his opening contribution, Mr. Quinn stated "This means that some commissioning decisions will result in the rationalisation of services and will require courageous choices." Can he elaborate on what those choices would be and what sort of barriers he would...

Select Committee on the Future of Healthcare: Health Service Reform: Health Information and Quality Authority (1 Feb 2017)

Kate O'Connell: I do not want to misinterpret Mr. Quinn. Is he saying that the larger providers should be examined first and then we can examine the person minding his or her brother or sister?

Select Committee on the Future of Healthcare: Health Service Reform: Health Information and Quality Authority (1 Feb 2017)

Kate O'Connell: That is where I am going with my query. Let us say that State provides financial support to me to mind my sister-in-law in my own home.

Select Committee on the Future of Healthcare: Health Service Reform: Health Information and Quality Authority (1 Feb 2017)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Future Funding of Domestic Water Services: NewERA, National Treasury Management Agency (7 Feb 2017)

Kate O'Connell: The witnesses have not considered the impact of fines. The water bill is projected to be €13 billion over ten years. In the context of the recommendation in the expert group's report that there be a charge for excessive usage, has the Department considered the possibility that it might have to give money back to people who use less than the water allowance? Has consideration been...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Future Funding of Domestic Water Services: NewERA, National Treasury Management Agency (7 Feb 2017)

Kate O'Connell: The shortfall is €239 million per year from non-payment of domestic water charges. If there are no domestic water charges for ten years, that adds up to the guts of €2.4 billion. Am I correct in saying that is the amount we will be out?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Future Funding of Domestic Water Services: NewERA, National Treasury Management Agency (7 Feb 2017)

Kate O'Connell: There are more of us.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Catheterisation Laboratory Clinical Review: Discussion (8 Feb 2017)

Kate O'Connell: I thank Dr. Herity for coming in to speak with us today. The British Cardiovascular Intervention Society, BCIS, recommends that 100 to 150 cases should be seen per year. Perhaps Dr. Herity, in his professional capacity, could explain to the committee the basis for that figure. I would imagine, as a health care professional myself, that it is related to throughput of patients and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Catheterisation Laboratory Clinical Review: Discussion (8 Feb 2017)

Kate O'Connell: With respect, Chairman, we said we would let everybody in and we would let the witness answer. I take exception to somebody being treated like this and the barrage he is facing. We said three and then we said six, and we said we would let the witness answer. I do not think it is appropriate to have all us all jumping in ad hocand making accusations. Let us do it afterwards.
