Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion (7 Feb 2018)

Rose Conway Walsh: I thank the witnesses for their presentations. It is really good to have all the decision makers in the room at the same time. Sometimes it feels a bit like Wimbledon, going back and forth from one to the other. I am really happy they are all here this morning.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion (7 Feb 2018)

Rose Conway Walsh: I will ask the broader question. If somebody is waiting, in dire pain and display suicidal tendencies and behaviours, where do I go? I am at a loss. There are cases across the board and I really need to know what to do in those cases when somebody is presenting with suicidal behaviour.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion (7 Feb 2018)

Rose Conway Walsh: I have to tease out what has been said because there is a need for clarity. The GP has to register the patient on the list which will then be approved. What is the timeline for approval and is the list open indefinitely such that there is no closed period before which the GP has to register the patient?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion (7 Feb 2018)

Rose Conway Walsh: If someone who today becomes aware that the patch is no longer available under the medical card or the drug refund scheme and the GP makes the assessment that he or she needs to continue using it because the other drugs will not work and morphine is unsuitable, what will happen?
