| Description: | This review of GP Out of Hours’ Services is the first national review to be
undertaken since the commencement of publicly funded GP Cooperatives in
Ireland in 1999. The progress in the establishment of GP cooperatives since then is
considered by the HSE to be a highly significant quality initiative for patient care,
general practice and the health service as a whole.
In the context of the need for the HSE, to meet targets for efficiency savings, to
protect services and deliver maximum operational efficiency, this review provided
an opportunity to consider the nine national GP cooperatives and the four
extended hours’ services in Dublin South City. The recommendations of the review
group are challenging and will require a significant level of commitment to
implement. It is therefore imperative that responsibility for the implementation of
this report remains at regional level. I would like to offer my ongoing support to
the Regional Directors of Operations to facilitate their implementation within the
Regional Directorates.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the members of the Review Group for
their expertise, professionalism and commitment. I also thank the representatives
of the GP cooperatives who met with the Review Group and provided us with great
insight into the operation of this service provision, the challenges and the
opportunities. I also wish to acknowledge the service managers who provided data
on an ongoing basis throughout the period of the review. [From forward, Tadhg O’Brien,
Assistant National Director,Integrated Services Directorate,Health Services Executive] |
