Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

HSE National Service Plan 2024: Discussion

Mr. Bernard Gloster:

It does and it is a disproportionate equation. There is no doubt about that and as I said, I intervened last summer and the Deputy is aware of that. I spent seven months in escalated industrial action for doing that. I am not negotiating with myself on it but I do accept that the overall percentage in volume growth proportionate to clinical is off line.
