Róisín Shortall: What is your understanding-----
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Oversight of Sláintecare: Discussion (16 Feb 2022)
Róisín Shortall: Sorry, time is short. What is Mr. Watt's understanding of what would happen to hospital groups in a regional structure?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Oversight of Sláintecare: Discussion (16 Feb 2022)
Róisín Shortall: The structures that have been agreed and the geographical areas are entirely different from the hospital groups. Why would hospital groups arise at all? We should be talking about hospitals and not hospital groups.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Oversight of Sláintecare: Discussion (16 Feb 2022)
Róisín Shortall: Mr. Watt is repeating that. There would not be hospital groups.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Oversight of Sláintecare: Discussion (16 Feb 2022)
Róisín Shortall: There will be a realignment of hospitals.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Oversight of Sláintecare: Discussion (16 Feb 2022)
Róisín Shortall: What Mr. Watt would appear to be talking about is the hospital groups subsuming the CHOs and the community services.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Oversight of Sláintecare: Discussion (16 Feb 2022)
Róisín Shortall: What do you mean you "think"? There are new entities proposed. They have nothing to do with hospital groups. Do you understand what is contained in the Sláintecare recommendations?

Róisín Shortall: Sorry, this is-----
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Oversight of Sláintecare: Discussion (16 Feb 2022)
Róisín Shortall: It is extraordinary that just a few months ago in September, Mr. Watt was talking about expanding the remit of hospital groups to include community services. I can only come to the conclusion that he does not get Sláintecare and that he does not have any understanding of the regionalisation structures that were proposed. They are a central element of the reform programme. We were told...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Oversight of Sláintecare: Discussion (16 Feb 2022)
Róisín Shortall: I can only come to conclusions based on what I am hearing from Mr. Watt this morning and what I read from him in an email just last September.

Róisín Shortall: Excuse me-----
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Oversight of Sláintecare: Discussion (16 Feb 2022)
Róisín Shortall: I can only see what Mr. Watt has written down in black and white. It concerns me greatly because it brings me to the conclusion that he does not understand what regionalisation is-----

Róisín Shortall: -----or he is seeking to block it.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Oversight of Sláintecare: Discussion (16 Feb 2022)

Róisín Shortall: Anyway, I want to move on. In the strategy and action plan for 2021 to 2023 a business plan was to be produced last year. Has that business plan been produced? Does it exist? With regard to an integrated financial management system, we are told the HSE does not have in spite of it being in existence for 17 years. When can we expect to see the business plan for regionalisation? When...
