Select Committee on Health: Health Information Bill 2024: Committee Stage (16 Jul 2025)

Martin Daly: What is the name of the system that will be used in the new children's hospital?

Select Committee on Health: Health Information Bill 2024: Committee Stage (16 Jul 2025)

Martin Daly: Is there a name for this system, the operating system?

Select Committee on Health: Health Information Bill 2024: Committee Stage (16 Jul 2025)

Martin Daly: The Department is in procurement and cannot say who the vendor is. Will the record of somebody who reaches 16 or 18 years of age and needs to go to St. James's Hospital be compatible with its system?

Select Committee on Health: Health Information Bill 2024: Committee Stage (16 Jul 2025)

Martin Daly: This is no reflection on the Minister, but about ten years ago I sat in the Department of Health and we talked about all of this and very little has moved. If someone is in the children's hospital and reaches the age where he or she has to go to the adult hospital, are those systems integrated? That is my first question. I understand there are sensitivities around procurement but there...

Select Committee on Health: Health Information Bill 2024: Committee Stage (16 Jul 2025)

Martin Daly: There will not be an integrated record.

Select Committee on Health: Health Information Bill 2024: Committee Stage (16 Jul 2025)

Martin Daly: That is the answer

Select Committee on Health: Health Information Bill 2024: Committee Stage (16 Jul 2025)

Martin Daly: I understand. At least it is on the radar.

Select Committee on Health: Health Information Bill 2024: Committee Stage (16 Jul 2025)

Martin Daly: There is critical exposure there.

Select Committee on Health: Health Information Bill 2024: Committee Stage (16 Jul 2025)

Martin Daly: It is great this has been solved after so many years and that there is a unique personal identifier with a link to a recognisable PPSN. The PPSN was developed a long time ago but technically this could not be done. Deputy Cullinane made a very good point about having the IHI on the app. Eventually the two numbers will sit on the app.

Select Committee on Health: Health Information Bill 2024: Committee Stage (16 Jul 2025)

Martin Daly: I welcome the Minister's commitment to review because this will take considerable expenditure and up-front investment for efficiencies down the line. We have to be careful we do not beat ourselves over the head. We look to the NHS but it cannot be set up as a model. The NHS had a £10 billion issue with its national IT programme between 2010 and 2013. It started in 2003. The NHS was...

Select Committee on Health: Health Information Bill 2024: Committee Stage (16 Jul 2025)

Martin Daly: We need to be careful because if there is a wait time, for example, there might be results from a scan and it might be information that cannot be imparted over the phone and needs a face-to-face consultation.

Select Committee on Health: Health Information Bill 2024: Committee Stage (16 Jul 2025)

Martin Daly: We need to be careful about time restriction because the next review appointment might be 28 days or seven days later, depending on the seriousness of the condition. I would be careful. It should be robust if it is time limited and there should be a very good reason for holding back the information pending the outcome of an appointment, maybe.

Commission of Investigation (Handling of Historical Child Sexual Abuse in Day and Boarding Schools) Order 2025: Motion (15 Jul 2025)

Martin Daly: I welcome the motion to establish the commission of investigation into the handling of historical child sexual abuse in both boarding schools and our schools generally. I fully support it. I pay tribute to the courage and resilience of the survivors who have campaigned on this issue. I remember the people who were abused who are not with us directly because of the abuse they suffered in...

Domestic, Sexual and Gender-Based Violence: Statements (10 Jul 2025)

Martin Daly: Today, I speak not only as a TD for Roscommon-Galway but as a GP with over three decades of experience. In that time, I have witnessed the hidden trauma of domestic, sexual and gender-based violence. I recognise what Deputy Connolly has said that in some way, the term domestic has minimised what in fact is assault within the home. "Domestics" were sometimes minimised because it was simply...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (10 Jul 2025)

Martin Daly: This week, the Taoiseach and the Tánaiste have rightly emphasised the Government's strong commitment to easing the cost-of-living pressures on families, including the recent move to strengthen the powers of the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission to ensure fairness in grocery pricing. Given the extraordinary external pressures of recent years with Covid, the war in Ukraine...

Post-European Council: Statements (9 Jul 2025)

Martin Daly: Following the 26 June post-Council European statement, I note the EU position on Gaza, Iran, Ukraine and Syria. Ireland has led the EU in advocating for the beleaguered Palestinian people in Gaza and in the West Bank. The Taoiseach has called it genocide and forcefully decried the lack of action on the part of the European Union. There has been formal recognition at EU level, driven by...

Committee on Disability Matters: Progressing the Delivery of Disability Policy and Services: Discussion (Resumed) (9 Jul 2025)

Martin Daly: I apologise for being late. I was attending the health committee, which occurs at the same time as this one. I thank our witnesses for coming in today. I am struck by the commission's report, which states we have signed up to international obligations in the area of disability. The areas of concern are areas we thought we had consigned to history: institutionalisation, congregation and...

Committee on Disability Matters: Progressing the Delivery of Disability Policy and Services: Discussion (Resumed) (9 Jul 2025)

Martin Daly: I have run out of time, but I would like to comment that it appears to me that there is a two-tier system of safeguarding. While rights for children are regulated by Tusla, we do not have the same rights for adults of all hues: those of older age, those who live with disability and those who are vulnerable. I take the point that it should be a justice-based thing. If you are breaking the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Legal and Policy Gaps in Adult Safeguarding: Discussion (9 Jul 2025)

Martin Daly: I thank the witnesses today from Safeguarding Ireland and the Irish Association of Social Workers for their statements, which were very comprehensive. One thing struck me, and I am satisfied that they have extended the scope beyond what we were considering, which was the recent nursing home scandal and the other scandals, which involved institutional care. I want to be careful how I say...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Legal and Policy Gaps in Adult Safeguarding: Discussion (9 Jul 2025)

Martin Daly: I thank Ms Rickard-Clarke for her comprehensive reply. The Irish Association of Social Workers made a number of points about the widespread, endemic abuse, often committed by family members, sometimes by carers and sometimes by a concerned neighbour who does jobs. I have seen that in my experience. The witnesses made some comments about the nursing home sector. I agree that the day of...
