Public Accounts Committee

2018 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Chapter 15 - Development of Primary Care Centres

9:00 am

Mr. Paul Reid:

I will make one point related to Sláintecare. Our strategy, in terms of workforce planning for next year, involves putting an extra 1,000 staff into our primary care settings. That will cost €10 million, rising to €60 million. We should have an extra 1,000 staff in community settings by the end of next year which should give some relief.
