Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Catheterisation Laboratory Clinical Review: Discussion

1:30 pm

Dr. Niall Herity:

All of these considerations are relevant but to consider the overall picture, perhaps I could direct the Deputy to page 39 of the report and the analysis of where patients came from to be brought to the University Hospital Waterford cath lab. There were 80 activations. I believe this answers the Deputy's question. The question that is addressed in this figure is how many of those patients were already within the catchment area of a 24-7 cath lab when they came.
