Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 November 2012
641. Deputy Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin asked the Minister for Health the services provided for the Health Service Executive by a company (details supplied); if he can confirm that this company further outsources these services and to where; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [51523/12]
View answerOne of the key commitments in the Public Service Reform Plan is to identify and evaluate new business models and opportunities to support the delivery of non-core processes and services. External Service Delivery is an area that can potentially deliver a range of benefits for the provision of health services. These include both cost and efficiency savings stemming from better work and management practices.
The information requested by the Deputy is a service matter and I have forwarded your request to the Health Service Executive for direct response.
