Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Sláintecare Implementation: Discussion

Mr. Robert Watt:

We would be very happy to do that. One possible suggestion is for us to provide the committee or any member with briefings separately where we can go through them. Sometimes this format might not be the best format for going through things with PowerPoint presentations, setting out the overall and local sense of it and giving examples of how it will work locally and how it will be different with the regional health areas. There is a lot of good practice but the question is how different will it be, and hopefully improved, with the regional health areas. We could facilitate a private session or whatever the committee thinks would be best to go through it in detail. Mr. O'Connor and Ms Treleaven are on the team and obviously Mr. Woods is now heavily involved in it. They can set out matters in more detail. There are many questions here and we are genuinely interested in hearing people's views about how we can make this better because we are going to make mistakes, which is fine because it is inevitable that we will make mistakes, but we will learn from them and through an iterative process, we will get there. Perhaps some other way whereby we can have a different type of engagement might help to drill down into the detail of it.
