Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion
1:30 pm
Mr. Liam Woods:
The wider capacity study is a matter for the Department of Health. As was referred to earlier, it is already commencing. I would expect that will be this year, but colleagues in the Department may have an answer to that.
We also look at what is happening in elective surgery and understand those trends. That feeds into the same process in terms of understanding demand and capacity.
