Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion
Mr. Liam Woods:
It is happening that hospital staff are reaching out. Advanced nurse practitioners and the enhanced nurse role are coming as part of the recent arrangement. In areas such as epilepsy services and orthopaedics we have physiotherapists reaching out. One will see more staff along the continuum of care based on clinical planning, rather than on the institutional or geographical component.
