Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Awareness, Prevention and Services for the Treatment of Sepsis: Discussion
Mr. Joseph Hughes:
We have had a couple of meetings with the national sepsis programme. One of the main things we took away from those meetings was that we asked how many full-time people work on the national sepsis programme and we were told there is nobody full-time. It goes back to accountability and responsibility. They say their hands are tied because they only have so much, they have other jobs they do, they do this and they do that. I will say again what I said earlier. The public are being denied and deprived of a national sepsis awareness programme where they bring in protocols, tied together in a package the way it is done in other countries. Do we not deserve the same?
