The Construction Workers Health Trust is a national charity and is run by the craft unions affiliated to the Irish Congress of Trade Unions. The service is voluntary, nurse led and incorporates blood pressure measurement, a check for diabetes and high cholesterol, lung function, a height, weight and body mass index, BMI, calculation. Advice is also given on heart health, diet and cancer awareness. If there are any results outside the normal range then the individual is referred to their own GP.
My Department has no overseeing or monitoring function for this service. As this question has referenced the Health Service Executive I have forwarded it on for attention and direct reply to the Deputy.
