Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Hospital Services: Discussion (Resumed)
9:00 am
Dr. Donal O'Hanlon:
There is a division between community organisations and hospital groups, different management structures and different allocation of resources but many of the problems overlap. At regional level, I do not know what population would be best. Any hospital group and the community healthcare organisation should have the same geographical boundaries and the same type of management structures. As well as having an executive role such as the HSE provides, there needs to be a board and governance structures.
