In carrying out the Health Service Capacity Review, activity and resource data was drawn from sources such as HIPE (the Hospital InPatient Enquiry system), the HSE, the Critical Care Programme, the Nursing Home Support Scheme, data from a survey of private hospitals and other surveys such as Healthy Ireland, published reports and stakeholder consultation, while waiting list data was drawn from the NTPF and the HSE. Demand was projected forward on the basis of national population projections. CSO regional projections were used (M2F2 scenario), adjusted for recent CSO population data.
The list of data sources used in the Capacity Review is included in Appendix D of the published Capacity Review - Main Report available at my Department's website.
