Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Cardiovascular Health, Stroke and Heart Attack: Discussion
Ms Kathryn Reilly:
Very simply, it needs to look at cardiovascular disease right across the continuum, from primary prevention, secondary prevention, primary care, acute services, rehabilitation, community services, life after a heart attack or stroke, to palliative care, which also needs to be an important part of that. It needs to be right across the spectrum and have patient involvement in its development from the beginning because the best insight we can have on how the services are working and what services are needed will come from patient experience.
