Ms Sarah Treleaven:

The Sláintecare integration plan last year facilitated the testing and evaluation of 123 projects, 105 of which were deemed successful. They have been mainstreamed through HSE funding. Another pot of money will similarly encourage integration of innovative projects to the tune of €11 million. Overall, the 123 projects from last year resulted in 15,000 reduced referrals, 18,000 acute bed days avoided and 8,200 patients off waiting lists. There is a report, with which we can furnish the committee, with further details on that.
