Financial Statements 2024: Health Service Executive

2:00 am

Mr. Bernard Gloster:

There are certainly options because the timeline on them has not run out yet. I would say the first thing we have to consider is if there are clinical services across the country - not even just HSE but also voluntary services or nursing homes and other settings - that wants to draw them down and utilise rather than waste them, we would be very happy for that to happen.
