Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Oversight of Sláintecare: Discussion (Resumed)
Frances Black (Independent) | Oireachtas source
I thank Mr. Watt. It is good to see the roll-out of the chronic disease management teams, with more than 85% of GPs on board, which is vital to making essential care accessible to people all over the country. However, I worry that fewer than 12% of GPs have opted to provide abortion care to patients. Can lessons from the implementation of Sláintecare be used to try to expand coverage for reproductive healthcare? I would welcome Mr. Watt's thoughts on the matter.
