Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 January 2018
370. Deputy Catherine Connolly asked the Minister for Health the extent to which each of the recommendations of the emergency department task force report has been implemented, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2951/18]
View answerThe Emergency Department Taskforce (EDTF) was convened in December 2014 to provide focus and momentum in dealing with the challenges presented by ED overcrowding. The EDTF Implementation Group, is co-chaired by the HSE Director General and the INMO General Secretary and meets on a regular basis to oversee implementation of the ED Taskforce Action Plan and monitor ED performance.
The HSE also provides the Secretariat for the EDTF and therefore I have asked the HSE to respond to you directly to provide an update on the status of the recommendations of this group.
