Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Sláintecare Implementation: Discussion
Mr. Robert Watt:
We hope to finish this up before the summer break. The intention is to have a short intensive engagement where, hopefully, we can reach agreement on the key issues. As ever with negotiations, we are hopeful and optimistic and we all want to reach an agreement. The Government wants to reach an agreement - the Minister has said that clearly - but we need to have the substantive engagement. Hopefully, those substantive talks will start next week and we can conclude quickly. That is the Government's wish. We shall see.
