Health Corr gives CDPs a ringing endorsement
JOURNALIST GIVES BRILLIANT EXPLANATION OF WHAT CDPs REALLY DO
The author of the most penetrating book written in recent years on the Irish health service has given CDPs a ringing endorsement in a 7-minute interview on RTE's Drivetime. (Click 'community health workers').
Sara Burke has described the work that CDPs do as exceptional value for money and she paid tribute to volunteers' involvement and the ability of projects to do a great many things with very limited resources. While focusing chiefly on CDPs, Sara also drew attention to equally good work done by drugs projects, Family Resource Centres and a range of others.
Her interview was broadcast on Thursday last, September 24th, and Sara has just published a written report on CDPs on her blog.
