- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)
Róisín Shortall: Okay. I want to pick up on some of the points made about testing diagnostics generally. Are cardiac diagnostic services not included in the new primary care diagnostics initiative, that is, the direct referrals?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)
Róisín Shortall: That makes sense. I completely agree with Dr. Murphy's point that we should be developing our own services within each RHA instead of the outsourcing.

Gino Kenny: I thank the witnesses for attending. My first question is on social determinants. This is an important matter in public health, including cardio health. How concerned is Professor McAdam about the proliferation of highly processed foods, particularly among children?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Staffing Levels in the HSE: Fórsa (23 Oct 2024)
