Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Update on Key Issues Relating to the Health Service: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Bernard Gloster:

I have a team down in the west and north west supporting it this week because most of the west and north west has seen a major deterioration in its trolley position. I am expecting a turnaround plan from the west and north west in the next day or two, and I will be discussing that with the Minister directly and the Department. We are going to have to focus on aspects, but I have to say, and I do not do so disparagingly, that the local teams have things they have to do as well. Just to be clear, there is an ask on both sides. Every day of the seven days of the week between now and the end of February, I will be reviewing the trolleys in Letterkenny. There will be no minute left unspared to make it as comfortable as possible for people.
