Public Accounts Committee

Health Service Executive Financial Statements 2018
2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 38 - Department of Health
Chapter 16 - Control of Private Patient Activity in Acute Public Hospitals

9:00 am

Mr. Jim Breslin:

The intention is not to interfere with individual clinical pathways or training relationships with universities. This is not what this is about. We will always have referrals between one hospital group and another and that is working at present. We will not try to over-engineer this but we will try to have counterparts between managers working in a hospital and in a community in the same geographical area. This will not interfere with patients needing to move outside of those hospitals.
