Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Implementation of Sláintecare Reforms: Department of Health and HSE
Mr. Damien McCallion:
Yes. As Mr. Canavan said, there have been benefits in all hospitals from the work and survey we have done but there is more to do and there is more potential there. As Mr. Canavan said, if there is a small pool of specialists and one or two people sign up and the others do not, there are challenges. It is also important to say it is not just about consultants. We must also ensure we have appropriate diagnostics and other services to support people. We also need resources in the community, as we talk about emergency care at weekends for discharge and so on.
