Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Cardiovascular Health, Stroke and Heart Attack: Discussion
Ms Kathryn Reilly:
Not that I am aware of. We have been talking internally about it and very much advocating for it because patient involvement in services is critical. Ms O'Shea is very vocal on this also. The heart programme, however, is very clinical. We have a medical director who sits on some of the clinical advisory groups, but they do not have to speak to us as patient representative organisations. Because there is no patient representative body on that, as far as I am aware, we do not have much information coming from it. As I said, it is about the clinical organisation of it; it is not necessarily about the policy and the people who guide that.
