Public Accounts Committee

2017 Financial Statements of the HSE
2016 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 38 - Department of Health

9:00 am

Mr. John Connaghan:

We should not have too many of those. The position and what the plan is will be resolved by 12 July. Part of it will include putting additional resources in to accelerate the discharge of a number of patients and to move them to a more appropriate setting to relieve some of the pressure.

Local management is on the case. There is a deadline. There is a clock ticking on that. I would hope that we can resolve the issues to the satisfaction of local staff and patients by approximately the middle of this month.
