Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Emergency Department Overcrowding: Discussion
1:30 pm
Mr. Liam Woods:
The need is not disputed. The Senator is correct in saying that it needs to be available as soon as it is physically ready to be available. It would need more dialogue with the group and the group CEO to look at the likely phasing, but the Senator rightly referred to a requirement to recruit and scale up around what would be a significantly larger operation.
