Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Cardiovascular Health, Stroke and Heart Attack: Discussion

Mr. Chris Macey:

We are not aware of any intention or any preliminary work that has been done on it. Likewise, we are not aware of any evaluation or analysis done on the previous strategy, the ten-year strategy that ended in 2019. That was a superb document. It was an excellent document that covered the whole gamut of what services people require. It brought in stroke for the first time in a national policy as well. It has just disappeared into the ether. As far as we are aware, nobody has looked at the progress that has been made, the lessons learned, what has not been done and what needs to be done out of that. That is a huge waste.
