Health Service Reform

Healthcare Industry Providers must be employed to solve the Irish Public Healthcare Crisis.
Our three step Mandate for Change Policy is below:

1. End the Two-tier System
The Health Service Executive (HSE) must be replaced. This is not a new idea. In 2010 Fine Gael promised to abolish the HSE and introduce “a completely new health system”. Fine Gael planned to replace it as part of their five point election plan in 2010.

2. Fund Providers That Deliver
Healthcare providers with a proven track record in service provision must be awarded healthcare contracts. Contracts must be awarded on a service provision and cost to taxpayer basis.
Doctor retention does not seem to be a significant problem in the private sector.

3. Cut Healthcare Costs
To reduce costs in healthcare, the government must increase supply of industry personnel. The cap on training health professionals must be removed. Legally prohibit overcharging for publicly funded medical services, just like Germany.
