Budget 2019 provided €20 million for the establishment of a new ring-fenced Sláintecare Integration Fund to test and scale how services can best be delivered.
The Sláintecare Integration Fund sought submissions with a focus on prevention, community care and integration of care across all health and social care settings.
Finding, supporting and scaling innovative new ways of providing care is fundamental to delivering Sláintecare. The Integration Fund looked for initiatives that support the delivery of integrated care and the shift to community care in new and innovative ways, helping to reduce and prevent hospital visits. This will support us in meeting our ultimate goal of reducing waiting lists and reducing waiting times.
122 projects from across the country were funded through the Sláintecare Integration Fund. The project partners range from hospitals, hospital groups, Community Healthcare Organisations, community and voluntary organisations, Universities and Primary Care Centres. Many projects will be delivered in partnership between hospitals and Community Healthcare Organisations, or hospitals and community organisations, highlighting the emphasis on integrated care and shifting care to the community.
This document sets out details of all the Sláintecare Integration Fund projects.
