Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Catheterisation Laboratory Clinical Review: Discussion

1:30 pm

Dr. Patrick Owens:

I am sure we will follow the British Cardiovascular Society, BCS, recommendations but I believe it is still 100 her although it may very well move to the 150 standard. The answer is that if we were doing 75 cases 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday, bizarrely, disproportionately larger numbers of the week's take, so to speak, of heart attacks tends to be within working hours. The Deputy can read into that what he will but we would expect the total to be somewhere between 150 to 200.
