Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Winter Preparedness in the Hospital System: Discussion
Mr. Bernard Gloster:
Yes, the DTOC number is taken at particular points and that is the number we would look at. If I looked at it today I would expect to see it in that territory. It might go slightly up or down but as I said when I first came here in March what I have been pursuing as part of the answer to the overall pressures is the whole DTOC position. It is going in the right direction but I certainly would not be happy until I get the figure to below 400. I would want it to be at 400 by the end of this year, consistently, and I would want the figure to be heading towards 300 next year.
