Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Elimination of Hepatitis C: Discussion

Ms Nicola Perry:

There absolutely are such countries. That point was raised by Deputy Shortall earlier. Scotland has done fantastic work. The UK in general is doing well but Scotland is a good comparator because the population profile is quite similar, as are the numbers of cases with which it is dealing. The services are similar and the countries are similar culturally. We have invited experts from Scotland to come to speak to us many times in order to help us formulate our strategies. Mr. Keane or Mr. Murphy may wish to add to what I have said. I would recommend we look to Scotland.
