October 2016

Format: DOWNLOADABLE PDF


Following the formation of the Northern Ireland Executive, this seminar discussed the future direction of health and social care provision in Northern Ireland - with the NI health service increasingly subjected to increases in demand, as well as rising costs.


The seminar came ahead of the release of a review commissioned by the Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety and which looked into the best configuration of health and social services in Northern Ireland, and aimed to ensure that Northern Ireland delivers world class health and social care provision.


Delegates also assessed the potential impact of the EU referendum on cross-border co-operation and on the workforce, along with the proposal to abolish the Health and Social Care Board.


Those who attended included key policymakers as well as stakeholders from across Health and Social Care services, private and third-sector health and social care providers, advocacy and patient groups, charities, local authorities, academics and commentators, and others with an interest in the important issues being discussed.
