Mr. Marcus Keane:

It absolutely can. I am not a clinician but from having spoken to a lot of clinicians about the issue, it seems it is something that can be delivered quite easily in the community. There will always be people with complicating factors, such as cirrhosis, who will need to be dealt with under the care of a consultant through the hospital system. For the vast majority of people, this is something that can be treated safely and easily in community settings.
