Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Sláintecare Implementation: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Robert Watt:
We are a lot closer. We were not that close last April, with all due respect to the Deputy. The Government has made a decision in principle. We are going back to Government, I think, in the middle of October - Mr. Patterson will correct me if I am wrong - both in terms of Cork and Galway. We have to through the various processes that are set down by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and go through the elements of the public spending code. That has been completed now. The evaluation has gone to the major projects advisory group. The Government will, I am sure, give the green light in October. We need then to go to detailed design and procurement.
