I have asked the interim Health Service Executive, under the establishment order, to prepare and submit to me a plan for the unified delivery of health services and the integration of management, administrative and service delivery of existing health boards. The plan will include inter alia the establishment of regional boundaries for the delivery of such services.
This matter is currently under deliberation and I anticipate that the board of the interim HSE will have proposals for my consideration in July of this year. Once decisions have been made, both I and the board recognise the importance of informing the public and staff as soon as possible of the plans in this regard.
