Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Update on Sláintecare Reforms (Resumed)
Mr. Damien McCallion:
I do not disagree with the Deputy about the demography, the demands and the need to accelerate it. One of the reasons for the surgical hubs is that they can hit the ground quicker. For example, we are paralleling the enabling works. The site selection was done earlier. The process around the tenders has been expedited for those programmes. Subject to the construction period, we will see those coming on stream next year. They will make a huge difference-----
