Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Elimination of Hepatitis C: Discussion

Dr. Austin O'Carroll:

I will put my hands up and admit that I am not an expert in prison health. I think access to treatment may vary from prison to prison. I know that there is access to treatment in some prisons. I cannot say that about all prisons. I am sure there are some cases where prisoners have to go to hospital. The provision of treatment on site is a much more efficient way of treating these people. Anything that gets people treated quickly and efficiently should be done.
