John Crown: The problem with the National Centre for Pharmacoeconomics is that I believe it does not take the most nuanced view of the totality of the health care costs associated with a new product when working out how much it costs and I am sick of it. The case one needs to make is that it can decrease resource utilisation, but this case may need to be made to a body other than the National Centre for...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Tackling Obesity: Discussion with Operation Transformation (14 Feb 2013)
John Crown: I thank the witnesses for attending. I add my appreciation to the efforts the leaders have made. There is about 20% less of me than there used to be ten years ago so I have some sense of the scope of the struggle that is involved and the ongoing commitment required. Imagine what I would be like if there was 20% more of me. I would be even worse.

John Crown: In my day job I am increasingly focused on dietary issues because quite a few patients in my practice who have had breast cancer treatment have survived and are coming back for follow-up visits. The one thing that has emerged in the oncology literature in recent years is that in addition to the other well-recognised health implications of obesity and overweight there is also an increased...

John Crown: I agree with Dr. Orsmond, and there is a strong parallel here with smoking. We would like people not to smoke and as a result of their not smoking we would have fewer cases of lung cancer. However, that would not mean we did not need to provide treatment for people with lung cancer. The reality is that some really established leaders in the fields of diabetology and metabolic medicine say...

- Seanad: Medical Practitioners (Amendment) Bill 2012: Second Stage (20 Feb 2013)
John Crown: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire. I am very supportive of this legislation which has a sort of resonance with some of the issues that have arisen in the context of the abortion debate.
