Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children

Irish Blood Transfusion Service: Chairperson Designate

10:30 am

Professor Anthony Staines:

We have had a lengthy discussion on it as a board. We have met Mr. Tiernan Brady and members of the executive have. There have been discussions with GLEN and other groups. We are open to making a change, but if we do so it will be based on the evidence that we can accumulate, and our best estimate of the risks of making a change. We know the risks of our existing policy, which are not zero. The question we have to answer, however, is what are the risks of a different policy.

Is that all?
