- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)
Bernard Durkan: Is that being set up at present? Can it be set up at present? Is it being encouraged? Is the ICS encouraging it or can it do so through the hospital system, GPs and so on?

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)
Bernard Durkan: As regards women's health, Professor McKeown mentioned that this apparently applies throughout Europe as well in terms of danger of heart attacks, cardiovascular failure, etc. What is being done in Europe now to address that issue, and what is being done here?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)
Bernard Durkan: Could we have a comparison done between the older drug and its effectiveness and the new drug, and could we avail of that for the committee, Chairman? I think it would be useful, and it could be used further. Is that possible?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)
Bernard Durkan: I have a very short time left. Obviously a strategy is required. Within that strategy certain items, such as the availability of particular drugs that are effective, need to identified. The thing that comes to mind also is there are a number of people who are in danger of heart failure but do not know it for some unknown reason, so the degree to which the services are available for...

Neasa Hourigan: I will comment on some of the issues around the medicines management programme. For my own clarity, are these injections on cholesterol that we are talking about injections that would be undertaken by a clinician or is it something someone does at home?
- 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. Regarding the medicine management programme, I can only imagine there is a huge amount of innovation in this area. If doctors want to move a treatment off the management programme and make it more freely available, how long is that process?

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)
Neasa Hourigan: That is not great, given that drug innovation happens. We would like there to be a fairly dynamic response from organisations. I want to go back to the registry's issue. This has come up a number of times in other sectors to do with healthcare and anything that is a long-term condition. In a practical sense, what is the hold-up? What is the problem? Is it that there are different...

- 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)
