Mr. Muiris O'Connor:

The overall timeline is to have an implementation plan completed by the end of 2022, to phase in implementation through 2023 and to have the RHAs operational from 1 January 2024. We recognise the huge importance of deep and comprehensive engagement with the staff of the service, with this committee, and with all interested parties. It is our intention, with a view to having an implementation plan completed and submitted to the Government by December, to have a draft of that implementation plan ready in October or thereabouts in order that there would be comprehensive engagement and input taken on that plan at that point.
