Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Update on Sláintecare Reforms (Resumed)
Mr. Liam Woods:
For public hours, yes. The only reason I hesitate slightly is that it may well be that the same patients who are coming through the emergency department - 85% of private work in public facilities comes through the emergency department - so it is quite likely that they will continue to work on the same patients but those patients will be public. In terms of hours worked on patients, it is not changing.
