Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Elimination of Hepatitis C: Discussion

Mr. Lawrence Murphy:

We recently came into contact with an individual who had been living with hepatitis C for more than 20 years. They had linked in with services but had never availed of treatment. This individual has severe liver disease. When they did put themselves forward for treatment in recent months, they had to undergo some additional tests, such an ultrasound scan and other tests for what the Chairman just described, such as liver cancer.
