Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Overspend on the Health Budget 2018: Discussion
9:00 am
Mr. Stephen Mulvany:
Maternity-related catastrophic cases comprise the single biggest area by far. That does not mean there are not quality and risk issues within the health service that we have to attend to and work on constantly. It does not mean the Deputy is wrong that there have been increasing levels of challenge in recruiting consultants in certain specialties. I am just not drawing a link between that and the State Claims Agency figures.
