Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
General Scheme of the Health (Amendment) Bill 2022: Department of Health
Ms Laura Casey:
It is a good point the Deputy Cullinane has made. Deputy Shortall has made it also and we have received it from our colleagues in the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth. We will looking at it in the Bill drafting.
I will make a final point in terms of HIQA and its views on all of this. It is important to mention that we worked very closely with HIQA on the development of the general scheme and we will continue to work with it during the Bill drafting. I know it will have its views but we have had very good engagement with it to date.
