1226 days waiting for a response from @HSELive & @BernardGloster Apparently if you attend a HSE hospital HSE staff can access your private medical records without your consent post discharge. HSE Management has no responsibility to protect the privacy of your medical records.

Only people @BernardGloster & @HSELive executive management hate more than patients are front line staff. Will @IMO_IRL & @IHCA_IE speak up? independent.ie/irish-news/cou…

This should be introduced for mothers facing multi year legal battles with @BernardGloster HSE mob following @HSELive birth negligence or seeking child disability services. @CcoHse @drboylan @davidcullinane @DuncanSmithTD @PadraigRice independent.ie/irish-news/i-d…

How can a " journalist' allow @SimonHarrisTD talk about AoN yet not question him over his knowledge of the unlawful amendments ? @MaryERegan

This is going on for years. When I sent protected disclosures to SIPO, they sent them to the Ombudsman for Protected Disclosures, who in turn sent them to my employer the Department of Health. Nobody seemed to ask themselves what the consequences might be.

Excellent article @Elaine_Loughlin Time to look at Consultancy firms hiring of senior HSE/DOH managers. Access to taxpayer funds the target, HSE spending on "managers" has also rocketed. How does this benefit patients/doctors/nurses? @INMO_IRL @IMO_IRL irishexaminer.com/news/arid-4166…

Management Consultancy firms & @BWSLaw do extremely well out of the Irish health service. Doctors, nurses & Irish kids with disabilities less so.

‘There is a continued withholding of information, claiming this to be a human resources report. The reality is very different,’ says one patients’ group about this report. Children’s Health Ireland won’t publish it. Here it is in full. ontheditch.com/heres-the-repo…

Thanks to @wereontheditch for the opportunity to comment on their recent publication of the elusive CHI report. We've shared our full statement in the article. Here’s a brief summary of our thoughts. We'll continue as always to advocate for and support these families.

Today, I progress my #Disability (Personalised Budgets) Bill 2024 to 2nd Stage. This is a transformative piece of legislation that empowers the fundamental human rights of Disabled Citizens & older citizens in self directed care -It’s a personal journey - oireachtas.ie/en/bills/bill/…

A senior HSE manager never should have been made CEO of @HIQA ,the body responsible for monitoring the HSE. HIQA was neutered after departing former CEO Dr Tracey Cooper scathing criticism of the HSE. Angela Fitzgerald has a history of protecting sub performing HSE managers.

In this week’s debate on the #Grace case with Minister Norma Foley - I raised the case @Louisehassan4 & #Caitlin Hassan -Taoiseach & Tánaiste have said said #Grace Case must ‘never again’ happen - But it is happening -on their watch -to #Caitlin & Louise Hassan @CareChampions2

Opposition health spokeseople need to stand up like @TomClonan Parents of kids with disabilities are sick of having to go to the High Court due to failure after failure with zero consequences for permanent health service management. @davidcullinane @DuncanSmithTD @LiamQuaide

Well done to Justice O'Malley, god knows what Dr Steevens would be doing to kids with disabilities if not for the High Court. Driven yet again by another parental action, where is the questioning of HSE legal fee spending on NOT providing services? irishtimes.com/crime-law/cour…

This is a concerning story I salute the brave and courageous Whistleblower 👇

🗣️ "He was screaming 'Mammy, please help me' - like the pain was just through the roof for him." Áine Gladney Knox, mother and campaigner, on putting trust in surgeons and her son's post-surgery complications. #TonightVMTV

"How it has come to this point is very difficult to understand and there must be accountability to ensure confidence in a most sensitive part of healthcare" LoL some of us have been highlighting absence of health service mgmt oversight for years. rte.ie/news/analysis-… via @rte

Know your Rights - Medical Records You have a right to your medical records. Please make sure you receive ALL those records being held on you or your child when you request them -@CaoimheHaughey1 #MedicalRecords #FOI

The last 'Expert' they had on Disability was Prof McLachlan who was clinical lead on the unlawful PTA AON - zero evidence to suggest disabled children didn't need diagnoses before they could receive services, meds, procedures etc.

The conclusions and recommendations have not changed. Now these unnecessary hip surgeries have finally, reluctantly, been confirmed by official, establishment channels, it is incumbent on the state to meaningfully intervene on behalf of those affected – and not take 18 months.

Bob & Bernie's salaries only thing growing faster than child disability waiting lists. Seems to be a complete disconnect between salary & performance for top level permanent health service managers. Hard to see how Glocester & Watt provide value for money independent.ie/irish-news/its…
