Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Integrated Eye Care: Discussion

Ms Sharon Ryan:

We have had great success in terms of our collaboration with CHI. Some 600 patients have been transferred from CHI at Temple Street to Grangegorman in recent months. We also undertook an initiative last year in Citywest that was a demonstration of patients who would otherwise have attended an acute setting successfully attending another setting. We saw 1,250 patients there. It is really the relationships and the collaboration we have build on that drives it. The patient is paramount. That is what motivates the group to achieve its goals.
