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.
