Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Lyme Disease: Discussion

9:00 am

Dr. Cillian De Gascun:

This is another significant concern around conflict. This is a private laboratory operated by an individual who has developed these assays and they are only offered privately, to the best of my knowledge. There is a conflict of interests there. We see results coming back from that laboratory to this country and the patients are looking for treatment in the public sector. There is no evidence that those tests are any better than the tests that are available in Ireland.
