Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Update on Sláintecare Reforms

Mr. Robert Watt:

As Mr. Gloster said, he has to be discerning in making decisions within the control framework he has been given. There is a challenge we face, given the overruns for this year. It will be a tight situation next year, even with the large and increased settlement the Department will no doubt receive. Given the wide variety of demands right across, there will be challenges. Decisions will have to be taken and we are given a political mandate. The Minister and Government make the decisions and we have to implement those decisions.
