Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion

9:00 am

Dr. Colm Henry:

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.
