Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Oversight of Sláintecare: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Robert Watt:
It will not impact on the capital budget but I presume that since the plan is to ensure that there is a certain level of service in each region, which is comparable across the country, over time the extent to which the quality is the same across the country must be taken into account. As we have our existing capital plans set out in the NDP that are being implemented, it will not affect us directly. Over time, it will affect us as we look across the different regions and see that each region has the type of infrastructure and services it wants. Obviously, infrastructure provision is a key part of that.
