I propose to take Questions Nos. 823 and 824 together.

Primary responsibility for the effective delivery of Sláintecare rests with the Sláintecare Programme Board, co-chaired by the Secretary-General of the Department of Health and CEO of the HSE. Membership of the Board also joint leads of the reform projects from the Department’s Management Board and the HSE’s Senior Leadership Team as well as representatives from the Department of An Taoiseach and Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth. Full membership of the Board is set out below.

The Programme Board has met sixteen times since its first meeting in December 2021 (dates of all meetings are set out below). The minutes of all meetings are published as a matter of course and can be found at this at this location www.gov.ie/en/publication/fbc36-slaintecare-programme-board/

The minutes are normally approved by the Board at each subsequent meeting and then published, i.e. the minutes of the Board meeting of 19 November 2024 are expected to be approved at the next scheduled meeting on 4 March 2025.
