Budget 2024 Expenditure Ceiling and Resource Allocation for the Department of Health and HSE: Discussion
Mr. David Moloney:
I think the Department of Health has at different stages tried to implement ways of doing that. I think there was a casemix system and targets at one point. I think there have been efforts made to do that. I think the inherited structure of hospitals in the acute sector has made that challenging for them but ultimately the idea of paying for performance is a policy matter. That is a decision that would have to be taken by the Government.
