Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Sláintecare Implementation Strategy: Discussion

9:00 am

Ms Laura Magahy:

In terms of resources, I have outlined four work streams of how I am going to structure my 106 actions. This is just work in progress. The first is around the citizen care master plan, so I will need population health planning expertise as part of my team but will also be working out in the system with people who have that expertise. In terms of co-ordination, governance and value for money, which is my second work stream, I will need finance and governance advice coming into my team. My third work stream is about teams of the future and I have talked a little bit about that; obviously, I will need workforce planning expertise. Finally, I have the sharing progress work stream which is about communications and engagement. Through those, we have some service design people, some project managers, critically. I will also need input from different people at different points in time, for example with an economics background or whichever pieces are needed at the time. Between now and the end of the year, I am working out how the action plan is going to be structured and what my team is going to be in-house. I am going to keep it tight because there is expertise out in the system and I am proposing that the office is a kind of bridge out to the system just to make sure everything is co-ordinated and happening in the right sequence. I hope that answers the Deputy's question.
