Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
HSE National Service Plan 2022: Discussion
Dr. Colm Henry:
There are two complications centres at Cork University Maternity Hospital and the National Maternity Hospital with an investment of €1 million. It is a single service on two sites and will include clinicians who have been trained by experts from Croydon. The pathway in those two centres includes physiotherapy, a pain specialism and neuro-gynaecology and, if required, the other specialties are neurology and gastroenterology. The pathway there will deal not just with removal, which it is sometimes crafted around, but all complications related to the centres. The two centres will include translabial scanners on site. There will also be optional treatment abroad if the degree of complexity is not within the scope of the complications centres. That is part of our response in our work with the Department of Health, the CMO and the services onsite.
