Róisín Shortall: I welcome what ODTI is being asked to do. I am sure that report should be very useful. What I am looking for is something quite different. The ODTI presumably will set out targets.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Services for the Treatment of Endometriosis: Endometriosis Association of Ireland (28 Jun 2023)
