Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Implications for Health Sector of United Kingdom's Withdrawal from the EU: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Jim Breslin:
It is not anticipated that there will be any break in services. We have confidence in that. Mr. John Hennessy has spoken about the Brexit-proofing of service level agreements, which has been completed. He spoke about co-operation and working together, CAWT, because some of those arrangements are under a co-operation mechanism which we have. We are not anticipating anything in that regard.
I noted early in the meeting that The TimesIreland edition jumped from a general statement about Brexit at large to Secretary General says medicines will be okay but cross-Border services are going to be impacted. I did not say that.
