Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Integrated Eye Care: Discussion
Dr. Duncan Rogers:
It is a significant gap. When I talk to the clinical lead, Professor Billy Power, and Ms Siobhan Kelly, and to the general managers and heads of primary care services across CHOs 1 to 9, inclusive, it is one of the crucial problems we face, particularly in paediatrics and children's eye care services. I welcome anything this committee could push forward. We used to have bursaries to send Irish students to the UK to train and come back. I would welcome talking to anyone about anything that could be offered outside of this committee.
