Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Healthcare Services in the Mid-West: Health Information and Quality Authority

2:00 am

Ms Angela Fitzgerald:

We have not set that out. I do not think we would have the expertise to make the final decision because there are a range of other considerations that would be outside our remit. What we did look at - and I might ask Dr. Ryan or Mr. Egan to come in on this - was where people access services and where they are coming from. We looked at the volume of presentations and the utilisation of the sites. In the context of saying that option C and a model 3 is required in the longer term, there are planning and other considerations that would be required. We did not look at that as part of our remit but we did look at where patients are coming from in the region. I do not know if Dr. Ryan has that information readily to hand.
