Pending the enactment of legislation, the Hospital Groups are being set up in line with the Government’s programme for reform of the health service initially on a non-statutory administrative basis, with Hospital Group Boards operating within the existing legislative framework. Hospital Group Chairpersons are already in place (appointed on an administrative basis) for all Hospital Groups and Board members in place in three out of seven hospital groups (Saolta University Healthcare, UL and Children's Hospital Group). The appointment of members to the remaining Hospital Group Boards - RCSI Hospitals, Ireland East, Dublin Midlands and South/South West Boards is expected to take place over the next months.
