Joint Oireachtas Committee On Key Issues Affecting The Traveller Community

Traveller Health: Discussion

Ms Maria Joyce:

We really welcome the examination of the budgets, including what is there and what is new. Interpretations of how money is being used is also important. We would also welcome a Traveller role in that, which is important from the perspective of the recipients. A holistic approach involving all the key determinants is obviously very important. One does not stand alone from the others. Mr. Walsh made a comment as he concluded. It is not just a case of emphasising the Department of Health's approach to this but that of other Departments too. If everyone was doing what they ought to be then the Department of Health can do what is needed.
