Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Implementation of Sláintecare Reforms: Department of Health and HSE
Mr. Damien McCallion:
There are two things. There is a national capacity review that has been refreshed with the ESRI, on which we are working with the Department of Health, to look at the longer term. That process commenced this year and will probably run into the early part of next year. It is looking at the overall capacity within the system. The CEO separately asked the regional executive officers, following their appointment, to look at resources within their regions to try to see what are the issues and challenges, and how they could use the resources and capacity they have in the regions. They were also asked to look prospectively. That will form an input into the national review, which is much more qualitative and uses the ESRI and so on.
