Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

HSE National Service Plan 2023: Discussion

Mr. Damien McCallion:

To add to that, there are two other immediate things that follow on from Mr. Gloster's visit. The first is in terms of the surgical hub at Merlin Park and that is being advanced and, second, as part of the plan around additional bed capacity, Galway features in that in terms of identifying the site. The key thing, which our hospitals team has been working on with the group, is to identify the priority sequence for the projects the Senator has mentioned. As he said, there is a plan and we need to have a clear priority on those two pieces - the surgical hub and the elective medical beds - which they are weaving into that overall plan there. Those projects will then be advanced, subject to funding.
