My Department is seeking to appoint an exceptional candidate to lead the Sláintecare programme of reform of the health service in Ireland as soon as possible. The process for appointing the Executive Director of the Sláintecare programme office has commenced, with the advertisement of the position by the Public Appointments Service on Friday 12 January 2018. As part of the recruitment process, a broad and comprehensive executive search is also being undertaken. The closing date for receipt of applications by the Public Appointments Service is 1 February 2018 and it is expected that a recommendation on the person to be appointed will be made to my Department before April 2018.
