Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Sláintecare Implementation: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Robert Watt:

Then if we get to a place where we need to underpin it legally, we will. Ultimately, we will have to draft legislation and amend the 1970 Act, I think. At this stage, our priority is the amount of work we have to do in terms of the what, the how and the structure. We are trying to get that right, get the teams in and start them operating. Next year and into 2024, we probably will have to draft a Bill to give it legal-----
