Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Elimination of Hepatitis C: Discussion
Colm Burke (Cork North Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
I thank all of the witnesses for taking time out from their busy schedules to provide us with information on this issue. I wish to raise the issue of prison services and access to treatment in the prison system. My understanding is that in some prisons people have to attend clinics in hospitals, which is obviously one of the problems in respect of whether we are rolling out a comprehensive service in all of our prisons for testing and providing a treatment programme for those who are affected by the disease.
