Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Update on Sláintecare Reforms
Mr. Robert Watt:
In relation to long Covid, the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform made a decision on the October deadline. I do not think that has changed. That is the position. As Mr. Gloster, Ms Hoey and my colleagues in the HSE will discuss, people are supported normally in any illness they may have. There is a supportive environment within the HSE and the wider public service for that. I am sure those supports will be put in place. As far as I am aware, there is no proposed extension to the October deadline for that.
