Mr. Damien Donoghue:

It is keyhole surgery, essentially, and as for what Ms Darcy mentioned there from the perspective of primary care centres, what does a tie-into Sláintecare entail? Do we have the relevant diagnostics in terms of medical imaging and people who are well trained and equipped to spot the signs there so they can maybe prevent people having to go for something, while it is minimally invasive, just to avoid that step. Having the skill set to identify it on medical imaging would be excellent. As I mentioned, having that conversation and talking to the patient advocates to understand what the gold standard would be is what is missing from the framework, for example. There are definitely lots of solutions and we would welcome working with anybody plotting those next steps. We identified that the framework is just that; there is more stuff to be elaborated on and developed.
