Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Health Services for People with Epidermolysis Bullosa: Discussion

Dr. Rosemarie Watson:

I will just add, from the psychologists' point of view, that the importance of having a psychologist in the hospitals as well as in the community is that many people do not want to go to a psychologist. There is a barrier there. In Austria, nobody wants to see a psychologist. Here, if there is a psychologist available from day one to meet the family with the team, they do not see it as abnormal.
