Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Awareness, Prevention and Services for the Treatment of Sepsis: Discussion

Ms Karen Phoenix:

We spoke to Dr. Colm Henry that day about what the procedure is when someone is suspected of having sepsis in an accident and emergency department or hospital setting. He said there is a protocol called Sepsis Six protocols. It is something like Rory's Regulations. Th HSE said it is working fine. We take its word on it that it is working fine but there are still 60% of people dying of sepsis in hospitals.
