National Health Summit
Croke Park, Thursday 7th February 2019
Our health service is being challenged. From rising chronic diseases to an ageing and growing population to pressure on healthcare funding, our government and all healthcare stakeholders must find a way to create an effective and sustainable healthcare system. Seemingly, that way is Sláintecare, a 10-year plan agreed by all political parties, which if implemented fully, will create a universal healthcare system with equal access for all citizens.
The first concrete steps in the reform process have been taken including the creation of the Sláintecare Programme Office and the appointment of a 23-strong council to advise and support the implementation team. But, questions remain over how much the reforms are going to cost and whether the HSE can drive the changes needed to bring the reforms about. Many reform plans have come and gone previously, often without little impact due to their lack of implementation. How do we ensure this plan doesn't go the same way? This is one of the big questions we'll be asking at the 2019 National Health Summit.
