View answerAs set out in previous replies, responsibility for the implementation of Sláintecare projects is now devolved to a senior leadership team within my Department. All units within the Department are responsible for the implementation of Sláintecare while Individual members of the Department’s Management Board at Deputy Secretary and Assistant Secretary level are directly driving implementation of the 11 Projects of the Sláintecare Implementation Strategy & Action Plan 2021-2023 and who in turn are reporting progress to the Sláintecare Programme Board co-chaired by the Secretary-General of the Department of Health and the CEO of the HSE. The PMO function, that supports, coordinates progress reporting, and ensures integration across these projects, also reports to an Assistant Secretary, supported by 2 Principal Officers, a Higher Executive Officer, an Administrative Officer, two Executive Officers and by an externally sourced PMO Manager at Principal Officer grade equivalent.
