Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 8 March 2018
363. Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Health the bodies or person that were invited by the independent review group on the removal of private practice from public hospitals to make a submission. [11411/18]
View answerI established an independent review group, led by Dr Donal de Buitléir, to examine the separation of private activity from public hospitals.
The consultation process to be followed is a matter for the independent review group.
I understand that the group undertook a public consultation exercise - advertised in the national media, on the Department's website and on social media - and also wrote to relevant organisations, in order to receive written input from members of the public and interested stakeholders.
I expect that the review group will continue to engage with all relevant stakeholders, prior to reporting back to me with their recommendations.
