We talked a little bit about the community healthcare networks, CHNs, and the community specialist...

Neasa Hourigan: I have the same question on the community intervention teams, CITs. There were 21 in June. Where are we with those? I would be interested, perhaps selfishly, in something that comes up on the doors a bit about medical cards. We had some numbers in June on the number of medical cards currently issued. If we had those numbers, it would be useful. Sorry, I am throwing many questions at...

Neasa Hourigan: Dr. Henry said lower numbers than 94%. Do we know an indicative lower number?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Winter Preparedness in the Hospital System: Discussion (22 Nov 2023)
Neasa Hourigan: I accept Dr. Henry's point about the three months and I know that people are still getting Covid-19 but that would also have been the case last year. Has there been a similar spend this year on the communication campaign, in comparison to last year?

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Winter Preparedness in the Hospital System: Discussion (22 Nov 2023)
Neasa Hourigan: Do we have numbers on this? Can Mr. Gloster unpack the programme for me? How much of it is private provision? Are aspects of the programme provided by private companies?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Winter Preparedness in the Hospital System: Discussion (22 Nov 2023)
Neasa Hourigan: If it were possible to get numbers on that, it would be incredibly useful. It is a hugely important resource for GPs but I would like to understand how it is interacting with the public provision versus the private provision. Finally, and this may be linked to the embargo, earlier this year we had a discussion on a reduction of the reliance on management consultancy by the HSE. This is...
