Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Implcations for Health Sector of United Kingdom's Withdrawal from the EU: Discussion

1:30 pm

Mr. Muiris O'Connor:

I do not know if there is a specific reference to Brexit; I do not believe there is. However, there is a comprehensive memorandum of understanding underpinning it which provides an overarching framework for collaboration between the two jurisdictions on the centre. As well as agreement between the Departments of Health, North and South, it is primarily a service level memorandum of understanding between the service providers. To the extent that free movement is allowed at the end of negotiations as they evolve across the Border, we are very confident that there will be minimum disruption to services.
