Dr. Deirdre Duffy:

The best bit of referendum, from evidence-based medicine and evidence-based practice, was to introduce this as a form of healthcare. Essential to any form of healthcare is ongoing review, feedback and development to ensure continued excellent services. Section 7 is a welcome step but evidence-based medicine requires ongoing, consistent and regular review as well as a feedback loop to identify areas of improvement and developments. If the promise was treating it as a form of healthcare, then it is necessary to at least show what steps have been taken and the effect of those steps.
