Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Implementation of Sláintecare Reforms: Department of Health and HSE (Resumed)
Mr. Muiris O'Connor:
When the fine detail of the census comes out - it is expected in September - there are teams lined up to absorb all that new information into fresh projections of future demand for healthcare. It is the project about which Ms Hoey spoke in terms of us inferring skills needs from that. We can also provide longer-term cost estimates. It would not all be Sláintecare. Sláintecare is the model of delivery rather than the totality of increased demand but that will be available before the end of the year.
