Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Health Services for People with Epidermolysis Bullosa: Discussion

Dr. Rosemarie Watson:

That is a good point.

Ms Callis may be able to add to this. Some families have a healthcare assistant. The problem there is that healthcare assistants cannot work independently if the nurse is on holidays or sick, for example. They can just hand bandages to the nurses, in essence. If the healthcare assistant rule is changed, we might be able to access more help there. The ideal standard would be nursing, however.
