Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Sláintecare Implementation: Discussion

Mr. Paul Reid:

We are running a very successful initiative in Dublin at the moment with remote scans being taken directly in nursing homes, saving older persons and their families the need to leave the residential care setting to go to emergency departments. Early pilots have proven that to be very beneficial and successful. We see that as a core part of the health service through many different providers and certainly at primary care level.
