Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

HSE National Service Plan 2023: Discussion

Dr. Colm Henry:

We have significantly expanded the number of teams and the members of teams across the country. I recently attended the first face-to-face meeting of these teams in the Ashling Hotel, which was led by the national clinical lead. Yes, there are deficits across the country and some of the teams are small but they are making a real impact. As I understand it, the expanded, dedicated posts have gone from a single figure sum in 2015 or 2016 to more than 70. I cannot remember the exact figure but I will come back to the Deputy with a detailed report on that.
