Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion

9:00 am

Mr. Stephen Mulvany:

We set out whole-time equivalent limits at acute operations and community operations level and they are allocated to hospital group and community healthcare operations. It will then go from hospital groups to individual hospitals. The main message is that if people can sustainably reduce agency reliance by conversion below the June level, that is regarded as a positive step which is of overall assistance.
