Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Health Services for Persons with Lung Fibrosis: Discussion
Mr. Robert Hurley:
I could not tell the Cathaoirleach why. I get my oxygen because my brother-in-law is an agent for it and he gives it to me if I am stuck. Other than that I would not. What scares me is all these tanks are refilled and when the agent comes and changes, is there due diligence done by the HSE to ensure there are enough tanks there? Based on the number of tanks that I hear are being used, if they are coming from somewhere else and they do not have the capabilities, I am scared witless I will end up trying to do an alternative way of getting it, because my supply is definitely affected. If it changes for the worse, where are we left?
