Tomorrow will continue with our series of engagements with representative bodies which will help the Committee set-out a long term strategy for the future of healthcare in Ireland. We’re looking forward to hearing about the experiences of a number of groups from around the country and getting their perspectives on implementing practical change to improve healthcare delivery and their views on the model of healthcare they would like to see in operation in Ireland.”
