Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children

Acute Hospital Services: Discussion

11:15 am

Mr. Michael O'Flynn:

We held many meetings and much of this was new territory for me. The relationship between the executive and the advisory board was challenging at times, but co-operative and constructive. I will leave it to Professor Higgins and others to comment. I favour advisory board systems. They are not used enough in Ireland. We all could do with external help in our fields. Perhaps we did not have enough of that.

I am dealing with the site and I am happy to deal with specific questions on it, but I will hand over to Professor Higgins regarding the many points raised about reconfiguration. Mr. O'Dwyer will discuss reconfiguration as well, but also some of the system issues.
