Ms Caroline Pigott:

Significant investment has been provided in budget 2021 for enhancing community care. On the next slide, the model illustrates the provision of integrated end-to-end care in the community, ranging from keeping people well at home to primary care provision, community care services and acute care. The healthy living workstream focuses on prevention and decreasing the prevalence of unhealthy behaviours. It empowers people in their own health, and it facilitates people to live well at home and within their communities. A key aspect of the Health Service Capacity Review 2018 was the shift of care out of acute hospitals, into the community, and closer to a person's home, where safely possible. The community healthcare networks will focus on the healthcare needs of a population of 50,000. Some 96 of those will be rolled out. They will provide the foundation and organisational structure that will enable integrated care between the primary and acute care providers. Specialist ambulatory hubs will incorporate integrated care for older persons and chronic disease management. They will also link to acute hospitals to facilitate early supported discharge. I will now hand over to Mr. James, who will talk about the work undertaken by Healthy Ireland.
