Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Update on Neurorehabilitation Healthcare, Primary Care Centre Programme and CAMHS: HSE

9:30 am

Mr. Bernard Gloster:

They do not have to wait on the pay and numbers strategy because they are part of the new-development allocation of 1,850, which I have said is protected. The notifications for this have been going out in the past couple of weeks, so Waterford either has got that or is just about to get it. Provision is being made for improved staffing. At the moment, the two cath labs are functional and one of them provides a STEMI on-call service, which is for the higher level of heart attack, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday to Friday, excluding bank holidays. What it is receiving now will put it to a seven-day, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. STEMI on-call service.
