Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Consideration and Implications of 2024 Health Services Funding: Discussion

Mr. Bernard Gloster:

If the Senator goes back to my opening statement for 2024, there will be no absence of clarity as to what we are funded to do regardless of anyone's view of what we might need. What we are funded to recruit is what we will recruit, and that is when it will stop. That does not mean anything other than we have achieved what we are funded to achieve.

That did not happen in 2023.
