Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)

Róisín Shortall: It reaches a tipping point then and the public service is always inadequate. I want to go back for a minute to that question of the prescribing of injectable cholesterol-lowering treatments. What is the position? Presumably, we know high cholesterol is very prevalent.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)

Neasa Hourigan: Okay. That seems to be more prevalent across a number of treatments in healthcare at the moment.
