Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society

9:30 am

Professor Brendan McAdam:

Yes. It is a pan-cardiology care thing. It is both the hospitals and GPs. We have to be empowered and resourced to provide the care we know will save lives. A national cardiovascular strategy would be the way to go. There is the report that is being published. It took about three or four years to complete because of the Covid pandemic, but we are very keen to get that published. That will serve as a template for a formal cardiovascular strategy, with proper funding and proper accountability.
