Health Service Executive Description: The National Service Plan 2017 sets out the type and volume of health and personal social services to be provided by the Health Service Executive (HSE) in 2017 within the funding available. The plan seeks to balance priorities across the full range of service areas that will deliver on our Corporate Plan 2015 – 2017. Priorities for the Minister for Health and Government as set out in A Programme for a Partnership Government are also incorporated. The 2017 National Service Plan recognises that underpinning these actions is the goal of improving the health and wellbeing of the population and of ensuring the services we deliver are safe and of high quality. Total funding available to Cork & Kerry Community Healthcare Organisation (CHO) in 2017 will be €600.625m. This represents an increase of 2.4% on 2016 which reflects the Government commitment to placing the health service on a sustainable financial footing. Cork & Kerry Community Healthcare Organisation continues to deliver services in an environment where the population is growing, the number of people seeking to access services is higher than ever before and where public expectations for quality of services continue to increase. Balancing demands and needs within the funding available will be an on-going and significant management challenge in 2017.

CHO 8 has a population of 592,388 (Census, 2011) which is the 4th largest nationally. It is the second largest CHO in terms of geographical area and consists of 2 former ISA’s (Midlands and Louth/Meath). This very large geographical area has a poor public transport infrastructure. There are six hospitals physically located within CHO 8 – MRH’s Tullamore, Mullingar and Portlaoise and Louth County, Our Lady of Lourdes and Our Lady’s Hospital, Navan . CHO 8 supports three Hospital Groups and engages with all three on a regular basis.CHO 8 supports 15 hospitals in terms of accepting referrals to community services Tue, 01 Mar 2016 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10147/605885 2016-03-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10147/605747 Title: Community Healthcare Organisation 6 (Dublin South East / Wicklow) operational plan 2016 Authors: Health Service Execuitve Description: A key priority for 2016 is to ensure that CHO 6 continues to develop the robust governance and management arrangements crucial to drive, manage and monitor implementation of the reform programme. In 2015, we established a Programme Management Office (PMO) to drive our reform objectives, sequence projects, and communicate and monitor implementation of the programme and its individual and integrated objectives. We will work closely with all of the main stakeholders in the healthcare system to ensure successful implementation. In line with the implementation of the CHO model within the programme, the appointed Heads of Service, Human Resources, and Finance, a GP Lead, a Lead for Quality and Professional Development, and a lead for Corporate Services will be committed to driving the integration of services for the Health Service Reform. Going forward, this leadership will underpin the reconfiguration of the structures and governance procedures in CHO 6 Fri, 01 Jan 2016 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10147/605747 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10147/605716 Title: Community Healthcare Organisation Area 7: operational plan 2016 Authors: Health Service Excutive (HSE) Description: A key priority in 2016 is to progress the further development of the structures and processes to ensure that this Community Healthcare Organisation supports the health needs of the population with high quality services provided to them as close to their homes as possible. Next steps in this process include the appointment of Heads of Services across the various Divisions to form a management team for this CHO. Work will also progress in relation to the reconfiguration of services into 14 Community Health Networks which will, in time, become the principal unit of local service delivery to the population. The Dublin Midlands Hospital Group provides acute health services within this CHO and it is essential that linkages forged between Community Services and St James’s Hospital, Tallaght Hospital and Naas General Hospital are maintained and strengthened so as to ensure that the public we serve receive the care they are entitled to. This area faces challenging targets for 2016 particularly in terms of meeting increasing demand for services within a constrained financial framework. We must also address the challenge of increasing regulatory requirements and the need to maintain a high quality of service. At the same time there are opportunities in the HSE Service Plan 2016 across each of the Divisions to improve services in our catchment area.
