Details of Service

Physical & Sensory Disability Service provide a range of supports to persons over 18 years of age who have a physical or sensory disability. The case coordinator works as part of the team to assess the needs of the client, and to develop and monitor the care plan.

Community Healthcare Services provide a broad range of services that include Primary Care, Older Persons, Disabilities, 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.

The Sláintecare Report (2017) and Sláintecare Implementation Strategy (2018) signal a new direction for the delivery of health and social care services in Ireland. The opportunity that will come with implementation cannot be overestimated, as it has the potential to create a far more sustainable, equitable, cost-effective system and one that delivers better value for patients and service users. It creates a more sustainable opportunity to transform the health and wellbeing of the population and how and where they access services.

Sláintecare sets out the need for the shift from the provision of care from acute to community settings, supporting the prevention and management of chronic disease at a community level.

The strategic direction outlined in Sláintecare and the current provision of community services is underpinned by a number of strategies including Community Healthcare Organisations – Report and Recommendations of the Integrated Service Area Review Group, Healthy Ireland, Transforming Lives, The Irish National Dementia Strategy, Sharing the Vision, Connecting for Life – Ireland’s National Strategy to Reduce Suicide 2015-2020 and The National Carers’ Strategy – Recognised, Supported, Empowered.

The HSE is embarking on a significant programme of change in order to deliver a more sustainable operational delivery model aligned with key Government and HSE Policy. This includes the HSE Corporate Plan and the HSE National Service Plan.
