Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Sláintecare Implementation: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Stephen Mulvany:
As Mr. Watt said, that will have to be set out in the document we have talked about, which will be available early next year. We have to set out what the target end state is for an RHA. We have to write job descriptions. In those job descriptions we have to give a sense, as I have tried to do in my opening remarks at summary level, of what they are going to be responsible for. I think the Deputy and I are at one on that. It does need to be set out. The RHAs will have a procurement capacity and a capital capacity. The issue is how we do that and make sure we achieve consistency and overall strategic prioritisation of capital. That is the balance that has to be achieved.
