Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Elimination of Hepatitis C: Discussion
Cathal Crowe (Clare, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source
I think that is true. What we have discussed for the past two minutes could slot into any discussion about healthcare at this committee. The transfer of information does not happen as succinctly as it ought to, unfortunately. Mr. Murphy and Mr. Keane may jump in at any point. I am homing in on some aspects of Ms Perry's presentation but our other guests are welcome to jump in at any point.
The report referred to the missing thousands. Many people need testing and we need to capture their health data and treat them. These are vulnerable people and they are not always the easiest people to get into a hospital environment or a testing environment. Is a liver function test one of the required gateways before a person can be tested for hepatitis C?
