Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Challenges in Hospitals: Minister for Health

Mr. Damien McCallion:

On developing people, I have worked with a director of HR to develop a new operations management programme. We are using the people - the hospital manager in Waterford, Tullamore and some of the other sites - to develop that programme to try to support people who come into those jobs, help them to do those jobs, and strengthen the resources and what they have available and their confidence and skills to do so. It is trying to bring that through in the system to develop more people who have that capability to support and show the improvement in sites.
