Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children

National Maternity Services and Infrastructure: Discussion (Resumed)

9:30 am

Dr. Alan Finan:

I wish to comment on that final question from Deputy Ó Caoláin about the assistant director of nursing for sepsis. That appointment is an RCSI group appointment. It happens to be an individual who has been working in Cavan for quite a few years and she will do a powerful job, I have no doubt. However, there is a strong sepsis management team in Cavan. The idea of the hospital group appointment is to try to standardise sepsis management protocols and SOPs around the group, and raise all boats in that way.
