Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Spinal Surgery Issues at Children's University Hospital Temple Street: Children's Health Ireland
Ms Eil?sh Hardiman:
I need to clarify something in regard to the theatre governance. We have had a theatre governance but it has been hospital specific. We have moved with it since April this year to go across site. We have used that as an opportunity actually to increase some of the work we have been doing. That has been planned and is under way. I would not like people to think we were waiting for a report to actually do it. When we actually went with a cross-city directorate we put in place cross-city governance structures. We have been doing such things as monitoring and comparing much more. Instead of the hospital just looking at its own it now looks as performance indicators.
