Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Implementation of Sláintecare Reforms: Department of Health and HSE

Mr. Damien McCallion:

I thank the Senator. I will make a couple of points. When a support team engages, it is as part of a process we have under our performance and accountability framework. As it is an ongoing process, while it might involve direct engagement for two, three or four weeks, it does not stop at that. There is an ongoing engagement with a site that is what we call one of those focus sites and Limerick clearly is a priority for the reasons set out by the Senator with regard to trolleys.
