Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Use of Private Hospitals (Resumed)

Mr. Liam Woods:

Yes, there is. We are looking to grow the occupancy as best we can to do that. As I said earlier, at the moment we are doing cancer work in hospitals and we have done cardiovascular work and gastroenterology work and transplant work has been undertaken in one hospital. There is a plan to do significant work. With specific reference to gynaecology list in County Cork, there is a strong focus on that. As the Deputy knows, much good work was done in the last 12 months on addressing that list, and there will be a focus on that in the next three to four week period.
