Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Review of the Sláintecare Report (Resumed)
9:00 am
Michael Harty (Clare, Independent) | Oireachtas source
I have another question before opening the discussion to other members. Sláintecare proposes a separation of private care in public hospitals. Dr. Wren refers in her opening statement to the mix of private and public care. Sláintecare sees the mix of private care in public hospitals as an inhibitor of change and believes it has a negative effect on the provision of care. Does Dr. Wren have an opinion on how one might separate private care from public hospitals or does she think it is possible or beneficial to do so?
