Health Service Executive: Financial Statements 2023

9:30 am

Mr. Stephen Mulvany:

We do not have an estimate yet. It will be a number of years before we get to that. As I said, the original estimates were based on 2014 and 2015 data. We will have rolled out to all the HSE and a good chunk of the voluntary sector before we get to the top of that €82 million capital budget. On time, the roll-out in the east took place on schedule, on 3 July. However, we are having significant post-implementation difficulties. I expect the second roll-out, which is to the west, will not take place until four months later than originally planned. The overall completion of the HSE part, which is 100% of us but 80% of total healthcare centres, will move from the middle of 2025 closer to November 2025.
