Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Sláintecare Implementation: Centre for Health Policy and Management, Trinity College Dublin
Dr. Sara Burke:
This goes back to the Senator's first question, regarding the programme board. I take on board his point that we need the Secretary General and the head of the HSE to be part of that reform leadership, but what we are leaning towards is that there is a good case to revisit that. The original recommendation was that there would be an office in the Department of the Taoiseach. We need that level of political accountability whereby somebody would lead on Sláintecare reform in line with the Secretary General of the Department of Health and the head of the HSE.
