Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion
9:00 am
Dr. Colm Henry:
To my knowledge, we have not established restrictive policies or procedures regarding online consultation. The Deputy referred to chest pain. In the case of chest pain, there can only be one form of engagement which is directly between the medical practitioner and the patient. We can come back to the Deputy with a full answer on how the approach of the Care Quality Commission in the UK applies to our healthcare system.
