Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children
Health Insurance Levy: Discussion
11:45 am
Mr. Dónal Clancy:
At the moment, if those procedures were taken out of hospitals, it would free up many resources in hospitals and this could help us to move towards treating the public in the right location and setting. By the way, that gives the best outcome medically. The evidence shows that if a patient is treated in the right location and setting, he will get the best outcome. A hospital is not a healthy place to be. We know that. That is the reality.
