Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children
Tackling Childhood Poverty: Discussion (Resumed)
12:05 pm
Ms Eleanor McClorey:
It is pertinent to this committee that the primary care strategy is back on the agenda and I think there is an allocation of 400 posts. This is linking some of the responsibilities of the committee with prevention and early intervention. The committee has heard how important primary care is across the work. Ensuring that the primary care strategy is implemented, resourced and staffed would be an enormous benefit.
