Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children

Deep Brain Tissue Treatment: Health Service Executive

10:15 am

Dr. Áine Carroll:

The document has just gone out for consultation. We hope to have the responses back in a timely fashion. We will have that model of care signed off as quickly as we can. I do not think there needs to be any significant delay while we are waiting for that document to be signed off. The temptation is to rush ahead and decide on a deep brain stimulation nurse specialist when what we really need to do is find out what is the greatest need for these individuals and how best can we provide that in an all-Ireland capacity.
