Joint Committee On Health

Impact of Covid-19 on Mental Health of Travellers: Pavee Point

Ms Lynsey Kavanagh:

With all due respect to the Senator, Sláintecare sets out a clear vision on population health profiling and part of the budget and plan of Sláintecare is to have an integrated infrastructure system. Notwithstanding all of the issues and the cyberattack and the technology issues at play, if we are to be serious in addressing Traveller health and not just Traveller health and if we are really serious about ensuring we are making clear and effective policies and services, we have to invest in the infrastructure and IT. That is not just Pavee Point saying it. It is a Government commitment and we are saying it needs to be prioritised. However, I understand the complexities around the infrastructure, notwithstanding the recent cyberattack.
