Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Oversight of Sláintecare: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Robert Watt:
It is consistent with Sláintecare reform. I read the business case and it is consistent with such reform. It is really about the focus on that horizontal piece, as we have discussed previously. It is about integration of services at the regional level. That is the main objective of this. Ultimately, it is to improve accountability for delivery of those services on an integrated basis across the hospital and community systems and primary care. Do I believe that establishing boards or reorganising the centre of the HSE in a more fundamental way is essential to deliver of Sláintecare? I do not, but I am happy to engage in that conversation at-----
