The High Level Delivery Board comprising the Secretaries General of the Departments of Health, Taoiseach and Public Expenditure and Reform, the CEO of the HSE and the Sláintecare Executive Director will be established to ensure effective delivery of agreed plans and resourcing of the Sláintecare reform programme.

The High Level Delivery Board has yet to convene, however each of the board members have been involved the development of the Sláintecare Action Plan and have provided input into the plan. It is one of the deliverables of the Sláintecare Action Plan 2019 for the Board to convene, and following publication of the Action Plan shortly, it is intended that the Board will hold bi-monthly meetings.
