Joint Oireachtas Committee On Key Issues Affecting The Traveller Community

Traveller Health: Discussion (Resumed)

Dr. Mary Favier:

Exactly. It would allow flexibility of appointments and a little wriggle room. It would allow staff to take more time to fill in the form for patients who do not have literacy skills. There needs to be an understanding and awareness that one just needs to allow a little bit more slack. That is not just the case for Traveller patients but for many patients who are challenged in those areas. More funding would very quickly provide a win-win.
