Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Funding and Implementation of the National Cancer Strategy: Discussion
Dr. Colm Henry:
Our position was that we were looking for, again, consultant geneticist posts and counsellor posts, but the strategy itself was focused on creating and operating a delivery model to decide whether or not we needed a central genetics and genomics clinical lab facility colocated. The strategy is currently focusing on what model of care will be delivered for genetics and genomics in Ireland, and funding will come against that. That was part of the strategy. We do not have a delivery model for genetics and genomics as such.
