Six Health Regions have been established within the HSE on the basis of the geographical boundaries agreed by the Government in July 2019 and they will be operational from 2024/2025.
Each Health Region is tasked with population specific planning resourcing and delivery of health and social care services for the needs of its unique population. This will result in improved accountability and governance in terms of finance and performance while also bringing decision-making closer to the frontline.
Health Regions enable and empower staff to provide services that are:
Integrated locally planned and delivered
Easier to access and navigate
Available closer to home
