Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Consideration and Implications of 2024 Health Services Funding: Discussion

Mr. Bernard Gloster:

Yes, I have said on the public record that based on the cost base I have today, if I am to provide the services which I have said I am not cutting and if I am not to hurt people, then there is a guaranteed deficit. I am not aspiring to the highest level; I will work to the lowest level with efficiencies but there is a deficit, yes.
