Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Sláintecare Implementation: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Paul Reid:
We see a value for them in this regard. As the Deputy mentioned, they more than demonstrated their value in the vaccination programmes. They play a key role in flu vaccination programmes. Not all of them participate, but we would like to see more of them participating and we are encouraging more of them to do so. We see them as part of the primary care service we provide.
