Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Cardiovascular Health Policy: Discussion
Mr. Neil Johnson:
I concur. The first point I will make relates to the plan, or the absence of a cardiovascular strategy. The second is a serious commitment to prevention. The third point relates to a reference I made earlier to the third age cohort. It would be cost-effective to initiate early detection and early diagnosis of many conditions that have an enormous impact, hypertension being one of them.
