Lobbying return by Irish Platform for Patients' Organisations, Science and Industry

Budgetary matters
Intended results

We hoped to secure a commitment for greater investment in ehealth and cybersecurity solutions in the 2022 budget.

Derived link · Matched by name with added legal form

Published name "Irish Platform for Patients' Organisations, Science and Industry" has no legal form. "IRISH PLATFORM FOR PATIENTS' ORGANISATIONS, SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE" (CRO 408258) is the only CRO company with that name plus any legal form (Limited, DAC, UC, CLG, PLC or Teoranta). Confirm against the CRO record before relying on it.
