Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Consideration and Implications of 2024 Health Services Funding: Discussion

Mr. Robert Watt:

We are working through that. I understand colleagues will be before the select committee looking for a Supplementary Estimate in the next two or three weeks. We will have an update and set it out for the committee then. It will be of the order we spoke about previously at the committee and that Mr. Gloster spoke about publicly. At this stage, we are not seeing the measures we have put in place leading to a dramatic slowdown in the rate of expansion. Perhaps Mr. Gloster will touch on that. We will probably not see it until next year. The run rate will lead to the types of numbers we spoke about previously.
