Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion

9:00 am

Mr. Jim Breslin:

There is also a factor of the time period. Due to the fact there was a surge at the start of the year, performance also disimproved at the start of the year.

Mr. Connaghan is correct that, once we reached the summer, we could see that we were below last year's trends. If one looks at the year to date, we are still behind last year.
