Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children

Discussion with Fibromyalgia Sufferers of Ireland and Spina Bifida Hydrocephalus Ireland

10:40 am

Mr. George Kennedy:

In response to Deputy Dowds, the one he missed was the defined clinic for adults. At present there is a relatively structured paediatric system, but once members with the condition reach the age of 18 they are into a very unstructured situation requiring them to visit several consultants. They might need to visit consultants in Galway, Cork and Dublin for various different aspects. It is not structured and our members are finding it very difficult.
