Select Committee on the Future of Healthcare
Health Service Reform: Hospital Groups
9:00 am
Mr. Liam Woods:
It is a function of the HSE centrally. It is a function of the directorate. In future, there may be a move to trusts. That is a matter for legislation. To be clear, the disposals taking place in the health environment have typically related to A Vision for Change policy in mental health. I cannot recall sales of any hospital assets. I can think of some acquisitions. There is no power to borrow or significant disposal programme of any sort in place.
