Teresa Costello (Fianna Fail)

I have just three questions. Mr. Gloster mentioned that the introduction of new controls on the use of third-party insourcing in the HSE may reduce the availability and attractiveness of these services. What impact will these have on patient access to care and waiting list times? I also have a question for the Minister. What will the new and refreshed framework for outsourcing access to care work look like? What is the current timeline for getting this framework developed? How will the NTPF be of assistance in making this happen? I also have a question for the Department of Health. Only 32% of patients on NTPF reported waiting lists are waiting within the Sláintecare target times. What reforms have been put in place to get more on track with Sláintecare policy times?
