Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters
Accessing Justice: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Emer Campbell:
Yes, it is tedious, but it is worthwhile because we are getting a full history. The other issue is that they may attend different healthcare facilities and people may be transient, homeless, or giving an address might be a challenge. There is a little bit of groundwork to be done when people come in so we get that kind of information, but once we have it, it is there forever on our system, because we can scan it in. To give the Deputy a picture, everybody within the healthcare team adds notes to it. This includes opticians, chiropodists, dentists-----
