Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Long-term Planning in the Health Services: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Bernard Gloster:
I accept that there is a way to go. It would be wrong of me to dispute that. The approach we are taking to giving the regions a chance to bring themselves up to a level in a number of services is the first time it has ever happened in that way. I have a lot of confidence that it will take us a distance. It might take time to get there. We are heavily focused on the patient flow journey for stroke because the egress from those beds to allow others in is equally critical. That is one of the issues that I was dealing with yesterday.
Does Dr. Henry wish to contribute?
