Vol. 394 No. 8

Written Answers. - Management of Health Services.

Liam Kavanagh

Ceist:

70 Mr. Kavanagh asked the Minister for Health if he has any proposals to appoint management consultants to examine the management of health boards or hospitals; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The importance of the management function in the health services was emphasised in the Report of the Commission on Health Funding. As part of my consideration of the report, I am paying particular attention to the development of all aspects of the management function. This is also an area which is covered by the consultative process which commenced on publication of the report. The question of appointing consultants to examine aspects of the management of the health services is being considered as part of my examination of this issue. I expect to make a statement shortly on the matter.
