Following publication in 2005 of the report by Dr Ronnie Pollock which was commissioned by the Cystic Fibrosis Association of Ireland, the Health Service Executive established a Working Group to undertake a detailed review of cystic fibrosis services. The Group, which was multi-disciplinary in its composition, was asked to review the current configuration and delivery of services to persons with cystic fibrosis in Ireland. The Group identified a range of service improvements required for persons with Cystic Fibrosis, including the need to increase the level of clinical, nursing and allied health professional staffing in Cystic Fibrosis units around the country. My Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to respond directly to the Deputy with regard to the recommendations made by the Working Group.
