Public Accounts Committee

Financial Statement 2020 and Related Matters: HSE

We see real value from the facility we procured in Citywest. You are correct, Chairman, that it was originally a step-down facility for hospital beds and an isolation area. We now have facilities for isolation, Covid testing, a vaccination centre and also some facilities that are clinically led in terms of addressing some of the waiting lists. From our perspective, the challenge is not specifically the break issue, but more the capacity we have acquired and how we might try to utilise that for the future.
