Minister must publish report on Dublin Children\u2019s Hospitals \u2013 Crowe<\/p>\n
Dublin South West Sinn F\u00e9in TD Se\u00e1n Crowe has called on Health Minister
James Reilly to immediately publish the Meridian Productivity Report on
three children\u2019s hospitals in Dublin.<\/p>\n
The report, which has yet to be published, apparently shows that the
three Dublin Children\u2019s Hospital have been under using their operating
theatres.<\/p>\n
Speaking this afternoon Deputy Crowe said:<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have a hospital system where healthcare quality, patient safety and
access is measured according to the latest scandal and not by
pro-active, independent monitoring and a quality control system and it
is patients, children in this instance, coming off the worst.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo an outsider looking in the under use of operation theatres in the
three Dublin Children\u2019s Hospitals would appear to be another systems
failure. \u00a0No doubt we will be told that there are legitimate reasons
behind these operations not going ahead.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe system seems to on an over reliance on a paper trail rather than a
modern computerised system. \u00a0This needs to change and we should be
moving towards a system that includes round the clock, twenty-four hour
operating theatres in all three Dublin Children\u2019s Hospitals particularly
to work through the backlog.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Minister needs to publish the report immediately. \u00a0It\u2019s no use him
pro-actively seeking media opportunities on a report that only he has
seen.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
