Dr. Rosemarie Watson:

There are pain specialists in both Crumlin and St. James hospitals and we have leaned on them a lot over the years. The pain specialist in Crumlin left but I do not know if a replacement has been appointed yet. When a pain specialist has not been available, the anaesthetists in the hospital have helped us. Patients are often on very strong doses of medication so we need their input and advice and that is available for those who need it.
