Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Proposed Appointment of Chief Medical Officer to a Role at a Higher Education Institution: Discussion

Mr. Robert Watt:

Yes. Obviously, these are personal matters but the CMO indicated he was thinking about moving on. The key issue was the timing of that in the context of the pandemic and to find a time when we were happier to be in a better place. The initial conversation took place in August. They were very outline conversations. Those conversations were basically paused when we had the Delta and Omicron waves because we were all involved in responding to that. The conversations then began in earnest in February. They were very outline conversations and no more than that really at that stage.
