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?

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)

- 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...

David Cullinane: I welcome our witnesses and thank them for the extensive briefing documents they submitted, as well as the opening statement and the asks they have of this committee. I will start with the national strategy because it is important. The most important point the witnesses made in their presentation is we do not have an overarching national strategy and have not for five years. Just for the...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)
David Cullinane: I thank Professor McAdam. I see many of the critical issues the witnesses identified are issues common to a lot of areas we are hearing about. One is the lack of comprehensive national registries. That seems to be a problem across a whole range of diseases. Do the witnesses think there would be a step-change in that if we moved to electronic medical records and digitising the health...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)
David Cullinane: I thank Professor McAdam. I move to diagnostics, because it is one of those areas in healthcare where the National Treatment Purchase Fund does not publish the diagnostic waiting lists or indeed community waiting lists, which it should. Very often we have to keep digging and asking parliamentary questions to get some sense of how bad they are. We know that in some cases they are not great....

David Cullinane: I am taking it from Dr. Murphy's response that would be more insourcing and more public availability in the public service, as opposed to outsourcing. However, the fundamental point is more capacity.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)
David Cullinane: I thank Dr. Murphy. Our time is limited and I have one more question to put. An issue that is coming up a lot at this committee when we have witnesses before us is the recruitment embargo that was in place and the still very limited recruitment for 2024. The witnesses' opening statement refers to "... significant workforce issues including an embargo on filling vacant positions since...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)
Seán Crowe: Apologies have been received from Senators Kyne and Conway. Before we get to the main item on today's agenda, the minutes of the committee meetings of 8, 9, 10 and 15 October have been circulated to members for consideration. Are they agreed? Agreed. Today the joint committee will first meet the Irish Cardiac Society to discuss issues and challenges relating to cardiology. Later we...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)
Seán Crowe: We do not really have the time to go into it but maybe the witnesses could provide the committee with a note on the difficulties related to the injectables, using the older drugs and the process that is there. It might be something we could follow up on.
