Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Productivity and Savings Task Force: Discussion

10:00 am

Mr. Robert Watt:

Yes. We have the vaccination programme, deals with private hospitals and a whole variety of measures around capacity and rostering steps to take. This week, we started the process of winter planning once again. We have planning all year round, but it is a more acute phase. There are many measures. Last year, the system coped very well despite the fact that there was very significant demand. We have seen trolley numbers come down. This year, we need to continue with that. Those are the concerns.
