Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Implementation of Sláintecare Reforms: Department of Health and HSE

It might be some consolation to know about the feedback I received after the meeting of the committee last week about that approach and focusing a lens on health and safety, particularly for front-line workers. I have had a number of engagements in recent days with people who are reassured by that. That was a clear and important message that needed to go out. I want to move on to what the history books will refer to as the winter plan, which is now the capacity and reform plan. How does Mr. Gloster see that working? This will be a multi-annual continuously rolling plan which takes account of the four seasons, not just the winter. When additional funding becomes available from Government, will it just go into the priorities contained in that specific plan? How would Mr. Gloster envisage that being designed?
