Vote 38 - Health (Revised) (31 Jan 2024) Seán Crowe: Can you give us a sense as to what the reluctance of GPs is in this regard? A lot of this comes down to appetite suppressants that are needed, so there is a medical response to it as well. The professor we met in Derry said they were looking down the road at a particular hormone that might potentially trigger appetite and so on. There is a lot of very positive work going on, but he was at...

Vote 38 - Health (Revised) (31 Jan 2024) Seán Crowe: I am conscious that it is ten years since many of these people got an increase. It must be an impossible task.

Vote 38 - Health (Revised) (31 Jan 2024) Seán Crowe: For what it is worth, the committee went out and had a look at the site in December. We went to areas we had seen before.
