Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Management of Hospital Waiting Lists and Insourcing and Outsourcing of Treatment: Discussion (Resumed)
2:00 am
Ms Louise McGirr:
There will be a CAMHS waiting time, for example, in one region. In another region, it will be much longer and the productivity will potentially be less in those teams. Along with the HSE, which is doing this with us, we are now bringing together the data to show that and make that visible. The goal is to understand why a certain region is much better, how it is working and how it is delivering its services and able to do it so efficiently. We have an absolute mine of information there that gives us insight into really good practice across the country. We have surgical hubs opening next year, which will increase the actual capacity within the system. We have an OPD toolkit, which has increased already the number of appointments in Naas to 5,000 for next year.
