Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

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

Mr. Ciar?n Staunton:

I thank the Deputy for her welcome and all she has done. Rory met her in Westport, Ballycroy and a few different places. Her cousin Jimmy Campbell was good to him in New York. The all-Ireland or all-island situation is that anything is better than what we have. I have spoken to people from Daisy Hill Hospital. I have spoken at the conferences I named. Any place is better than buying coffins, losing limbs and losing loved ones. It can only improve from here onwards as far as I am concerned because "No" means coffins. The UK Sepsis Trust has an active and well-organised group. I do not know what it is up to but people are dying across the island of Ireland of sepsis and they are preventable deaths. If an area in that unit can be stepped up, I would welcome it.
