Operational Director, University Hospital Kerry
Details of Service The HSE is a statutory body established by the Health Act 2004, with responsibility for the delivery of health and personal social services to a population of over 5 million people living in Ireland. In recent years the Government has made a number of structural changes to how the HSE is governed. The most recent change, effected by the Health Service Executive (Governance) Act 2019, provided for the establishment of a new board for the HSE and a new position of Chief Executive Officer. The Board and the CEO of the HSE each have distinct statutory mandates, with the Board being the governing authority of the HSE and the CEO being responsible for managing and controlling and carrying on generally the administration of the HSE. The responsibilities of the CEO are wide ranging and he is responsible for ensuring that the HSE is achieving its objectives, as well as providing leadership and strategic management across all aspects of the HSE’s activities. The Sláintecare Report (2017) included a commitment to HSE regionalisation namely the organisation of national health and social care services in a manner that is fully coherent and aligned at regional level. This commitment was reaffirmed by Government in July 2019 when the geographies of six new HSE Health Regions were approved. A Memorandum on next steps, programme of work, and timelines for Health Region implementation was approved by Government in April 2022 and a HSE Health Regions Implementation Plan was approved and published in July 2023 (DoH, 2023). The core vision driving establishment and implementation of the HSE Health Regions is the continued improvement of Patient and Service User care through a more joined-up integrated health and social care system with an integrated approach to service planning and delivery. Health Regions The HSE REO roles and the associated reform programme offer an exciting opportunity to shape the future of health and social care in a rapidly changing environment and to continue to implement safer better health care through integrated services. Health Regions will be the primary service coordination and delivery units for the vast majority of health and social care services provided across Ireland. They will provide the governance and organisational arrangements to enable planning, management and delivery of care for people and for communities across their region. The policy direction set out by Government is one in which the six Health Regions are implemented internally as formal regional structures within the HSE. The vision and aims of the Health Regions are: 1. To deliver timely access to safe, high-quality, integrated care to all patients. This means person-centered health and social care services that are informed by the needs of the people and communities in each region, better serving people at all stages throughout their lives 2. To align hospital and community-based services in each region so that they can work together better and deliver joined-up, coordinated care closer to home. This will help to ensure that we have a highly productive, transparent service with aligned incentives 3. To improve regional investment and balance national standards of care and direction with local decision-making. This aims to ensure that people can access the same quality of care no matter where they live, and resources are fairly allocated and accounted for 4. To improve the health and well-being of people in each region by ensuring that services are planned around local needs, people are well-informed and supported when accessing services, and health inequalities are identified and addressed Health Regions will be empowered and resourced to collaborate and work together, with the support of national services, clinical expertise, interoperable systems, business supports and national frameworks. Health Regions will be accountable and responsible for service delivery to meet local needs in ensuring the best quality health and social care services are delivered to meet both national and local targets and standards of care. The HSE Centre will have responsibility and accountability for ensuring that nationally consistent standards, guidelines, and models of care are developed in a way that is collaborative with Health Regions and that appropriate supports are available to Health Regions. The future HSE Centre and Health Region management structures will support more streamlined decision-making. Although the full implementation of Health Regions will be a multi-year journey, 4 Health Regions have been stood up since October 2024 with the South West Region following in March 2025. The responsibilities and boundaries of the existing South / South West Hospital Group and Cork Kerry Community Healthcare Organisations (REO) will be stood down and brought in line with the new Health Region boundaries from March 2025. The REOs hold accountability for the delivery of services and associated resources. REOs report directly to the HSE CEO on the operation and management of the Health Regions. Cork University Hospital Cork University Hospital (CUH) has approximately 800 beds and this will increase further to 1,000 beds on completion of the transfer of additional services to the CUH campus. CUH currently employs approximately 3,269 (WTE) staff of multiple professions and is the primary teaching hospital for the Faculty of Health and Science in University College Cork (UCC). UCC is the Academic partner of the South/South West Hospital Group. CUH has very strong relationships with each of the six schools within the Science Faculty of UCC and this is a key area for future development to maximise the opportunities for both the service and academia. CUH is a recommended Major Trauma Centre for the Republic of Ireland due to the wide range of specialties delivered by the hospital – including Neurosciences, Cardiac Services, Orthopaedics, General Surgery, Renal, Internal Medicine, Vascular, Ophthalmology, Urology, Plastic Surgery, Maxillary-Facial, Paediatrics, Intensive Care, Oncology, Haematology, Obstetrics, Gynaecology, Neonatology and Emergency Medicine. CUH is JAG accredited and is a Magnet4Europe Hospital. CUH is the tertiary referral centre for the HSE Southern area, and the supra regional area of Limerick, Clare, Tipperary, Waterford and Kilkenny. CUH therefore acts as a regional centre for secondary and tertiary care for the catchment population of approx. 550,000 served by the HSE Southern area and a supra-regional centre for a total a population of 1.1 million. The Sláintecare Implementation Strategy and Action Plan 2021–2023 outlines the eight fundamental principles of Sláintecare: patient is paramount; timely access; prevention and public health; free at the point of delivery; workforce; public money and interest; engagement; and accountability. The intent of the Sláintecare reforms is to achieve a universal single-tier health and social care system, which provides equitable access to services based on need, and not ability to pay Cork University Hospital (CUH) is a model 4 tertiary referral centre and University teaching hospital. The hospital is a public hospital owned and managed by the Health Service Executive (HSE) and is a member of the South/South West Hospital Group.
