Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Consideration and Implications of 2024 Health Services Funding: Discussion

Mr. Robert Watt:

These are some of the operating costs. I do not know exactly how expensive they are. I do not know enough about it but we can come back to the Senator on that. I am sure there is an element of energy and there are staff costs and other elements involved. In terms of the diagnostics more generally, there is a volume issue as well as a rise in prices.
