In the HSE National Service Plan 2009 the "Expected Activity/Target" specified 573,360 in-patient discharges and 647,000 day cases, totalling 1,220,360 admissions. The National Service Plan for 2010 has set the corresponding targets at 540,993 inpatient discharges and 679,510 day cases, totalling 1,220,503 admissions. The HSE's target for total admissions in 2010 is therefore in line with 2009 admission targets.
