Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Implementation of Sláintecare Reforms: Department of Health and HSE (Resumed)

Mr. Robert Watt:

Obviously there is an issue about housing that impacts on our ability to recruit people. As the CEO said, we are primarily in the business of healthcare policy and delivering services. Housing is a matter for another Department. However, we will work with the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage. If there are solutions that can address some of the challenges we face we could explore them.
