I am not aware if that is the case. One would suspect that in a time of very scarce resources and when we need to continue channelling those scarce resources to the front line of the health service that any efficiencies that can be achieved through outsourcing back office or support services could be replicated across the whole hospital system. I must stress that in the case of Drogheda there is ongoing engagement between management and the trade unions. No decision has been made in this regard and following consideration of the matter, a report will issue with recommendations on which option is more favourable.
