Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Long Covid and Monkeypox: Discussion
Dr. Derval Igoe:
In terms of estimating the numbers, no. I would just say that GPs refer anybody who they think might have monkeypox to a sexual health service. The numbers are usually notified. It is a notifiable disease now, so we get all the numbers and they usually come from sexual health clinics. GPs would not really be inputting the numbers reporting with sexually transmitted infection here. It would not be our main way that we would get that information.
