This afternoon.
Baggott Street, Dublin 2.
Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly at the Department of health launches the Hospital Innovation Fund – a collaboration between the Spark Innovation Programme, HSE Digital Transformation Office, the Acute Hospital Division and the HSE Change Guide – funding approved for projects impacting on waiting lists, capacity, digital transformation and improving patient care.
Meanwhile…
Integrated care means organising our health services so that people get the care they need, when they need it, as to close their home as possible. Integrated care has the patient, rather than the health system, at its heart.

Health and social care professionals will be integral to the design phase and will be consulted throughout. Implementation of this major reform will be informed by frontline healthcare staff experience via the RHA Advisory Group that is chaired by Medical Council CEO, Leo Kearns.

The year is 2022 and PR agencies are still recommending that the key players get a foam board sign made and everyone holds it for the press call / photoshoot.
Christ…
Still – they keep Reads of (Ex) Nassau St in business ;-)
Curious little (possibly Freudian?) error in one of the tweets above:
”as to close their home as possible.”
What next, a ‘fair deal’ scheme for your home to cover procedures? Yeah, we can replace that hip Mrs. Murphy, just sign over 12.5% of your home here please.
Jesus, imagine that was a future policy.
Recommend that everyone of a certain age set outs their Power of Attorney now.
The last thing you needs to be, is a ward of the state and them deciding things for ya.
It sounds crazy but let’s be honest, they are probably giving it serious thought.
The biggest innovation these people come up with is when they fill out their expenses forms.
And the man hours used for them to pose for this propaganda
Sack them all
No, Stephen, your reputation cannot be redeemed. You’re the Health Minister who presided over the injection of the population with a genetic toxin. No reorganisational white-wash distraction will change that.
No TD can escape the poisoned chalice that is the HSE with any positive reputation.
If the minister for/of health wanted to fix the problem, they should spend some days and nights on a trolley in the a&e. the motivation and inspiration will come quickly. sitting in a wonderful/comfortable office picking your nose will not fix it.
Donnelly will go down in history as the worst health minister so far- without a doubt.
Anyways this is complete BS- just look at the department titles. Spark Innovation programme and Digital Transformation- typical Donnelly cooperate bullpoo bingo buzz word- which mean absolutely nothing.
Dreamt up by 2 grand a day consultants no doubt- but they do a lovely whiteboard huddle I expect.
+1, SOQ.
my point was – if they experienced the reality of the HSE instead of the emperor’s clothes version sitting in their comfortable office. if they had no choice but to suffer the realities, they’d find the will to do their damn job, instead of as you so aptly put it, use distraction to cover their incompetence.
Digital transformation bull. Staffed by the usual suspects.
Well, Harney amalgamated the multiple Health Boards, expecting to streamline management & organisation. The Public Service Unions’ ears pricked up, “that sounds like redundancy talk to us” they shouted & of course that’s exactly what was planned by Harney.
Up popped Ahern, “read my lips, No Redundancies” he pretty much said & that’s what happened, pretty much making the whole thing a waste of time. The HSE spent a lot of time literally inventing new jobs for the redundant bureaucrats.
