The HSE formally submitted the 2021 National Service Plan on the 24th November, 2020 for my approval. The Legislation (Health Act 2004 as amended), provides 21 days for me to examine the proposed plan and either:
a) approve the service plan in the form it is submitted,
b) approve the service plan with such amendments as I, having consulted with the Executive, may determine, or
c) issue a direction to the Executive to amend the plan.
I am currently giving consideration to the submitted Plan.
If the Plan is approved, it must be laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas within 21 days of its approval. Once the Service Plan is laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas, the HSE will ensure it is published at the earliest possible time.
