| Résumé : | The Irish health system can be characterized as having been in a process of constant review and implementation of staged initiatives since the late 1990s. This process has culminated in major structural changes, made possible due to the economic growth that Ireland has enjoyed recently. The changes affect both the organization and orientation of the health care system. The reforms have revolved around the abolition of the former Health Boards and the creation of a single national body, the Health Service Executive (HSE). The aim is to make the system more primary and community care driven, backed up by improved access to specialist, acute and long-stay services. Implementing such major change is challenging and it is too early to reach any definitive judgement on the success of these reforms, particularly as the pace of reform has varied across different sectors of the health system. |
