Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Lyme Disease: Discussion

9:00 am

Ms Kerry Lawless:

That is why they do bag-packing, as the Senator saw with her constituent, and they do GoFundMe campaigns and run pub quizzes. This is not the way for people to access treatment. They also go to clinics in Poland, in Germany and in the United States. They follow quite conventional medicine of intravenous, IV, antibiotics and infusions and they come back. The vast majority of our members and fellow patients who come through the system, like Mr. Symes, recover, come back and go back to farming or whatever, and to their lives, because they were able to access treatment abroad that was denied to them here.
