Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Challenges Facing Emergency Departments in Public Hospitals: HSE

Mr. Stephen Mulvany:

The Reeves Day Surgery Centre uses a surgical day model. The Deputy might remember when we announced two of the three elective sites, it was also announced that up to five centres similar to the Reeves centre will be contemplated over the next 18 to 24 months in advance of the elective hospitals. More of that type of model, where the elective day work is separated from the acute hospital site, is part of what is being considered at the moment. That involves hotel accommodation where that is appropriate and safe for patients.
