I note that in the appendix to Mr. Gloster's statement, it says that insourcing can only be used for short-term initiatives approved nationally, including specific initiatives such as the assessment of need, and the others listed include ophthalmology. However, third-party insourcing cannot be used for the provision or maintenance of core services. How does the HSE define short-term initiatives?
