Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 June 2005
131 Mr. Crawford asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children the progress to date on the establishment of the promised 32 local health offices; the locations of these proposed offices; the interim arrangements until these offices are established; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [20875/05]
Amharc ar fhreagraPrimary community and continuing care will be delivered primarily through local health offices or LHOs based on the existing 32 community care areas. The information sought by the Deputy regarding the location of these offices is set out in the following table.
I am advised by the HSE that, at present, there is a general manager assigned with responsibility for managing all community-based services from these community care offices. The HSE has advised that the appointment of the 32 LHO managers, and the establishment of a management structure and processes that support the primary community and continuing care service delivery across LHOs, is an immediate priority. The HSE recruitment process to appoint the 32 LHO managers is well advanced and it is intended that all LHO managers will be in their posts by 1 September 2005.
