Joint Oireachtas Committee On Key Issues Affecting The Traveller Community

Traveller Health: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Breda O'Donoghue:

It is one of the initiatives that we feel is working well. It is about the promotion of it and the acceptance that it is working right now and protecting it. We are looking at primary healthcare workers who are at the end of their rope. They are working within their own communities so they work all day on the issues affecting their own community and then they go home to the same issues in the evening. The problem is that we do not have enough primary healthcare workers. That is the biggest issue.
