Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement

Engagement with Institute of Public Health

2:00 am

Ms Suzanne Costello:

I am not aware of any work that has been done that would address that sort of tragic and unnecessary type of situation. It is an omission. While we are not experts on healthcare systems, there is potential within that space of the Good Friday Agreement if we move away from organic development of services based on need or what may be happening in the moment and look five to ten years down the line at the challenges we are going to have. To do that would require a strategy, framework and vision. The potential has been given to us. It is about how we create that between the two jurisdictions.
