Since the establishment of the Agency in 2014, significant improvements have been made in developing its capacity in order that it can deliver effectively on its remit.

Tusla is reliant on the Health Service Executive (HSE)/Health Business Services (HBS) shared service function, which includes the centralised database for procurement information, contracts and framework agreements. In its 2017 Business Plan, Tusla has included a number of key priorities in the area of Procurement, one of which will enable Tusla to have shared services access to reports and contracts.
