Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Implementation of Sláintecare Reforms: Department of Health and HSE

Mr. Robert Watt:

We agree with the Deputy that it is too slow. The Minister and Taoiseach have emphasised to us that we need to increase the number of beds by 1,000-plus. That is the number we are working and being challenged on. Mr. Tierney and our colleagues in the HSE are now identifying the sites and the areas.
