Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Management of Hospital Waiting Lists and Insourcing and Outsourcing of Treatment: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Bernard Gloster:

I have recommended that to the Minister. This is my best assessment of it. I am very clear the pathway I set out in the report - in fairness to the Minister, she wants time to consider it and she may well add measures to it - is to balance the protection of service to people today, and not just to completely stop something, which would cause huge consequences. It is about putting in safeguards and then starting to wind down the dependency on insourcing. As I said, where we are left with a gap, we go outsourcing.
