| Description: | The North Eastern Health Board
continued to develop the range
and quality of services available to
all during 2000. This is the fifth
annual report for our Board and it
gives a broad outline of the wide
range of services and activities
during the year.
On a personal note, 2000 was my first year as the
Board's Chief Executive Officer. I am extremely
grateful for the support and co-operation which 1
have received from the Board and the staff during
this year, and especially the assistance, loyalty and
advice of the members of the Management Team.
Three new members were welcomed to the
Management Team during the year with the
appointment of Mr. Lany Walsh, Mr. Aidan Browne
and Mr. Jim Curran following the recommendation
of the Local Appointments Commission. These
individuals bring With them a wealth of knowledge
and experience to the Management Team and are
most welcome to their new posts.
I must also thank the Board's chairman, Dr. Hugh
Dolan, who has selflessly and tirelessly worked
above and beyond the call of duty for the Board
and has always been available to discuss Board
business, as well as representing the Board at the
many functions organised by ourselves and by
other organisations.
I would also the to thank the Board's staff who
again showed during 2000 how committed they
are to Providing the highest quality health service
to all. The Board Members, the management team
and myself greatly value their efforts and
Professionalism
The year 2000 was another successful year for the
Board. From the beginning of the year, the
seamless trail of the Board's computer and
medical equipment to the new millennium was
testimony to the ability of this
project. The volume of work undertaken by the
Board was faster than in any previous year While
the money spent on health care provision was also
unprecedented.
Great emphasis was placed upon the provis1on of
safe services to patients and the availability of a
safe working environment for all our staff. These
two issues will focus the attent1on of us all when
developing our services further during the com1ng
years.
The report "Health Status in the North Eastern
Heath Board" was published during 2000. This
report provides the Board and its Management
Team with a benchmark against which
improvements in the health status of our
population in future years can be measured.
While this report highlights the Board's
achievements during 2000 we must be aware that
a number of challenges must be met in the
coming years. As stated above, the provision of
safe services and a safe working environment
must be addressed continually. We must have
regard to changing standards and demands in
delivering our services. We must improve our
communication process both within and outs1de
the Board. We must recruit and reta1n staff of the
highest calibre. We must strive to achieve a status
of maximum regional self-sufficiency.
These are just some of the many challenges for
the Board, however, 1 am confident that we have
the Board members and staff available to use to
this challenge.
I look forward to building upon the successes
highlighted in this report.
