Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Children's Unmet Needs: Engagement with Health Service Executive

Dr. Cathal Morgan:

The Senator's point is well made. This is about the integration of services between acute services and community care such that it becomes seamless. In other words, the parents should not have to be concerned about speaking to a paediatrician and then having to speak to a community-based service. That is exactly what it is we are trying to achieve. As we speak, we are working with the paediatric side in acute services. Professor MacLachlan may wish to give the Senator his particular view on that issue.
