Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children
Discussion with Fibromyalgia Sufferers of Ireland and Spina Bifida Hydrocephalus Ireland
10:20 am
Mr. John Maher:
Deputy Ó Caoláin asked what needs to be put in place. The seven recommendations we set out in the brief we published in July include the following: Irish GPs need to be educated; psychology support must be put in place; better support is required from the Department of Social Protection; and fibromyalgia should be on the long-term illness scheme.
