420. Deputy Catherine Connolly asked the Minister for Health the number of times the regional health areas advisory group has met to date; the dates of the meetings; if minutes are taken and published in respect of the meetings of this group; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5562/22]
View answerThe Regional Health Areas (RHA) Advisory Group has held two meetings. The first meeting was an introductory meeting held on the 21st of December 2021, where the members were given an opportunity to introduce themselves to the group and review the terms of reference.
The second meeting took place on the 24th of January 2022. At this first substantive meeting, the group discussed the vision for RHAs and considerations for clinical and corporate governance in RHAs.
The Department is currently in the process of creating a dedicated webpage for the RHA Advisory Group where the notes of the meetings will be uploaded and available for the public to review. We plan to have this in operation no later than next Friday the 11th of February. Department officials will inform the Deputy of the address of this webpage when it is live to facilitate convenient review of all RHA Advisory Group meeting notes.
