- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Link between Homelessness and Health: Discussion (5 Jul 2017)
John Dolan: I understand the halfway house concept, if one can call it that, where services have to be brought to people. Are public bodies responsive enough to come half way or deliver services in a different way? Mr. O'Connell gave the example of the Mater hospital bringing the hepatitis C screening service to where folk were. That is somebody figuring out a cultural change.

It has to be a concern for the Department that some services will become less...

John Dolan: I want to address amendments Nos. 1, 2 and 3, but before I do I want to make a remark. The sense of frustration has already been mentioned.
