Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
General Scheme of the Health (Amendment) Bill 2022: Department of Health
Ms Laura Casey:
The Department has undertaken a number of demand and capacity projection exercises in recent years. The Economic and Social Research Institute, ESRI, has done a number of pieces of research around this to help to plan and understand the demand into the future in order that capacity can be built up around it. It is more on that national and regional level. We do not have information on a regional level. As we move towards regional health areas, RHAs, this will enable the data to be disaggregated on a regional basis also.
