Dr. Sara Burke:

The Deputy is referring to the Sláintecare progress reports. Ms Laura Magahy and the Sláintecare programme implementation office published biannual progress reports, in June and December. They did not always come out in June and December but pretty close to those dates. It is now March 2023 but we have not had a report since December 2021. It is a question of the regular publication of the progress reports. The progress reports in question maintained the integrity of the earlier ones, which had very clear targets. They had a traffic light system, with green, orange and red, indicating whether targets were being met increasingly. In the reports published, there has been an increasing number of oranges and reds because of the failure to deliver on time. It is about the Department publishing those reports.
