Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Update on Sláintecare Reforms
Mr. Bernard Gloster:
I agree that looking at the space, the pathways and how people move around and access buildings is a good part. In fairness to the range of challenges that have been pointed out of what presents in our emergency departments, we would look forward with every other organ of the State to participating in any alternative options. In the meantime, Deputies will find that at 12 o'clock tonight there will not be too many services other than emergency departments, and it is very hard to define, control and manage what comes through the door. That is why I absolutely with what the Deputy said about the experiences of our staff but the other options are not easy.
