Business of Joint Committee
Foetal Anti-Convulsant Syndrome: Discussion

9:00 am

Dr. Peter McKenna:

I wish to answer Deputy Donnelly's question. One could advertise and get a large response, but the genetic services are already overwhelmed and have a major backlog. What we could do and what we can do are separated by the number of geneticists and the extent of the genetic services, which are already struggling.
