Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Cardiovascular Health Policy: Discussion
Seán Kyne (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
This debate is timely in light of what happened to the Danish footballer, Christian Eriksen, last weekend. We are thankful that he is recovering. Speed, the availability of defibrillators and the fact that this sporting event was being monitored were factors. What more can be done with regard to our front-line paramedics, the old system, particularly in rural communities, involving the Order of Malta and the Red Cross, and the availability of defibrillators? There are State supports but what more can be done? Perhaps Mr. Collins could take that question.
