The HSE formally has submitted the National Service Plan 2022 for my approval.

The impact of the current wave of the Omicron variant of the Covid-19 virus has caused a delay in the deliberations and finalisation of the NSP 2022. I am currently giving consideration to the Plan and intend to revert to the HSE promptly.

If the Plan is approved, it must be laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas within 21 days of its approval. Once the Service Plan is laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas, the HSE will ensure it is published at the earliest possible time.
