Select Committee on Health

Estimates for Public Services 2023
Vote 38 - Health (Supplementary)

Ms Louise McGirr:

A couple of things have happened with the roll-out of the IFMS. The roll-out in the east, which has been happening since July, has run into difficulty, so that is causing some delay to the second phase of the roll-out.

A further issue is the lack of co-operation with Fórsa on IFMS which is slowing down the delivery of further phases of the project. Fórsa members have been instructed not to co-operate with further phases. The HSE is reprofiling. If we did not have the €40 million, what is that doing to the end dates. Then, on top of that, it is layering, with the investment of €40 million, how much we can take that back. I think the €40 million is unlikely to get it all in by the end of the year given the delays but it will accelerate it considerably.
