Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Sláintecare Implementation Strategy: Discussion
9:00 am
Ms Laura Magahy:
The Deputy asked about the sequencing of decisions in respect of assets. I suppose that is what I will look at between now and the end of the year. I have been tasked with a series of 106 actions and looking at the dependencies between those actions. I am thinking of rolling it out over a number of years using the concept of a citizen care master plan. This will involve looking at population needs on a geolined basis and looking at service design care pathways, before then looking at the infrastructural needs and e-health needs that will be required to support the newly developed service design care pathways and, critically, looking at the resources needed by the teams of the future - what the teams will look like and what the numbers will be. That will take some time to sort out. It will need to be done in an orderly fashion.
