Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

HSE Winter Plan 2022-2023: HSE

Mr. Stephen Mulvany:

As I said, it depends on individual sites but I am not so sure that kind of a wide-scale application of category C contracts is the solution to those problems. Again, my colleagues may want to comment.

Regarding the theatre closing at 4 p.m., that comes down to the complexity of the operation and the individual patient. There are certainly many operations that can and do take place after 4 p.m. We accept the general principle of flexibility around that where it is appropriate.
