Description

Health care services in Ireland are undertaking a significant reform programme in line with Government policy. The "Community Healthcare Organisations" report was commissioned by the HSE in May 2013, to review Community Healthcare services. This report provides a framework for the governance and organisation of all of Community Healthcare services. The structures facilitated the move to an increasingly integrated healthcare system which is responsive to people's needs at the lowest level of complexity, and which will ensure a focus on the population in local areas.

The recommendations of the CHO Report emphasises the need for strong leadership and ownership at local level, bringing the relationship between primary care, specialist older persons, disabilities and mental health services, as well as advancing the health and wellbeing of the population into a much more focused and integrated place in each local area. This will ensure a greater focus on service delivery and decision making at local level informed by national frameworks, which will allow the HSE to:

• provide for increased decision making at local level; and
• Deliver services in the community through an integrated management structure.

Community Healthcare Services are the broad range of services that include Primary Care, Disability Services, Older Person Services, Mental Health and Health & Wellbeing Services. These services are delivered through the HSE and its funded agencies to people in local communities, as close as possible to people's homes. Full details of the services provided by a CHO can be found at

Under the Progressing Disability Services for Children and Young People Programme, Children's Disability Network Teams (CDNT's) are being reconfigured so that all children with a disability and developmental delay and their families will have access to services according to their needs and there will be consistency and equity in delivery of services across the country.

The CDNT's are charged with the delivery of an efficient and effective health and personal social service for a designated population in order to achieve targeted health outcomes within the overall Community Health Network.

Each area has agreed "lead agencies" to manage defined Children's Disability Networks.
