The Minister for Health, Stephen Donnelly TD has today published the latest Sláintecare mid-year Progress Report. The report details a total of 112 deliverables for the first 6 months of this year. Of those 112 deliverables, 109 are either on track or have been progressed.
Our new Sláintecare Implementation Strategy and Action Plan 2021-2023 sets out the priorities and actions for the next phase of the reform programme. The aim is to deliver a universal health service that offers the right care, in the right place, at the right time, at low or no cost.
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.

Of the 138 projects for the period up to December 2019, 112 were on track, 24 have been progressed with minor challenges, and 2 with significant challenge.
This work has been carried out by many stakeholders, including from the Department of Health, the HSE, the voluntary and community bodies and key partners. It represents a concerted effort to deliver on the all-party vision and provides a strong foundation for moving forward into 2020, and beyond.
