Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Quarterly Meeting on Health Issues: Discussion
Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
Those are mainly questions for the HSE but I will comment on the mesh implants issue. We had a meeting and I thank Deputy O'Reilly for facilitating it. I had a follow-up meeting with Mesh Survivors Ireland and I have committed to another meeting. I need to get back to it with a date for another meeting, which will probably be next month. The Deputy is welcome to attend. Dr. Henry can update us on the commitments made to the group.
We have provided an uplift for diagnostic equipment in the capital plan and the HSE must map out where that is going. In fairness to Deputy O'Reilly, she asks on a very regular basis about Balbriggan's diagnostic equipment. Perhaps we can update her or at least promise to revert to her on the matter. Ms O'Connor can speak to the dual diagnosis programme.
