My Department has been advised by the Health Service Executive that it is currently engaged in a procurement process to select a consultancy that will examine acute hospital services in the north eastern region.
The terms of reference will include the determination, with reference to international best practice of the optimal configuration of hospital services and consultant staffing for the geographic area and population of the north east in order to provide safe, sustainable, cost-effective and high quality services.
