Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children

Lung Health Promotion: Discussion with Irish Lung Health Alliance

10:50 am

Mr. Philip Watt:

We have raised the issue with them, told them what we were doing and asked them to come on board. We asked if we could have links on their websites or minimal resources. There was not even basic interest. We are doing the job of HSE.

Their approach is completely and utterly unacceptable. I am asking this committee, the HSE and the Department of Health to give substantial support for this programme. Even if we do all the work, they could at least support it. It is a no-brainer and should be expected as a bottom line.
