Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Long-term Planning in the Health Services: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Derek Tierney:

Part of our job in 2026 is to work with Mr. O'Connell and the team and understand what the minimum schedule of accommodation per site is, what we have provided and where the gaps exist. We know it not uniform, and it has been largely informed by local services in terms of what additionality they might like. There is a body of work in 2026 at the macro level, but also within our 180 primary care centres that are operational. What is the schedule of accommodation? I am keen that we need to make sure we are sweating those assets and they are fully utilised before we start considering whether we need to build additional capacity in those areas. That is part of our 2026 programme.
