IPRT was at the launch of a Thematic Inspection on Education & Work Training: Wheatfield Prison, Mountjoy Men’s Prison & Arbour Hill Prison (April-June 2022) today.
We welcome the report and sharing of expertise between the Inspectorates (@OIP_Ireland & @SSEinspectorate).
For less than the price of 2 coffees a day per person with EB, the Government can help the approx. 300 people in Ireland living with EB in #Budget2024. @DonnellyStephen will you meet with @debraireland? A small act that can have a big impact on everyone with butterfly skin.
People with epidermolysis bullosa (EB) shouldn't have to fight for basic care.
For the second year in a row, we're asking Government for €810,000 in #Budget2024 - just 0.003% of the €23 billion health budget - less than the cost of 2 coffees a day per person with EB.
Join us in asking the Minister for Health, @DonnellyStephen, to meet us.
