Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 8 September 2020
1147. Deputy David Cullinane asked the Minister for Health if the details of the phase one report of the elective hospital oversight group will be provided; if the report will be published; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21461/20]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs part of Phase One, the elective hospitals oversight group completed a Catchment Area Analysis within Dublin, Cork and Galway, within a national capacity context, but also within the catchments defined by the proposed Regional Health Areas, aimed at selected scopes of service.
This phase will provide a technical base for further work that will be required to develop a business case for the development of Elective Ambulatory Facilities. It was never intended that phase one would be published, but rather that it would allow the Elective Hospitals Oversight Group to develop the future requirements of the Public Spending Code.
