Health Care Assistant, Bantry General Hospital

Details of Service

Six Health Regions have been established within the HSE on the basis of the geographical boundaries agreed by the Government in July 2019.

Each Health Region will be 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 will enable and empower staff to provide services that are:

Integrated locally planned and delivered

Easier to access and navigate

Available closer to home

Health Regions are geographically-based units with clearly defined populations. They align community and hospital services within specific areas. The HSE will retain a strong but leaner central organisation with more service provision developed at a local level.

The HSE South West Health Region will manage and deliver all public health and social care services in Cork and Kerry. HSE South West includes all hospital and community healthcare services in the region.

This includes:

South / South West Hospital Group S/SWHG

Cork Kerry Community Healthcare CKCH

The Department of Population and Public Health is also now aligned with this health region.
