Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children

Work Programme, Disability Services and Related Issues: Discussion with HIQA

1:10 pm

Dr. Tracey Cooper:

I do not know for Ireland. Someone may know. I urge people to look at the WHO website which has quite a lot of useful public-friendly information. The members have seen the extrapolated European figures that I put into the presentation. The WHO would say that because not every state has the data capture systems it may be a slightly lower estimate than the real one. I do not know what it is for Ireland. Across Europe it is hundreds of millions of euro. In proportion to our country it would be a significant sum of money.
