Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Cardiovascular Health Policy: Discussion

Mr. Chris Macey:

There is no one looking at cardiovascular issues in the Department. There is no focus on the issue at all. There is a policy unit for cancer, and rightly so, but for cardiovascular there is nothing. It lacks focus. As Mr. Collins said in his opening statement, we are just lacking a plan. We are at square one and we need to start moving.
