Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children
Update on Children and Youth Affairs: Discussion with Minister for Children and Youth Affairs
11:00 am
Mr. Jim Breslin:
We have an oversight group. We also have a dedicated project team led by Mr. Gordan Jeyes who manages it on a daily basis. I chair the oversight group which meets every fortnight, if not more often. We have representatives from the Department of Health and the CEO of the HSE. We have had excellent co-operation. This is a programme for Government commitment. There has been full acceptance across all elements of the management system that this must happen with due haste. We have had good support and co-operation which was commented on at the Cabinet committee meeting this week.
