| Summary: | The National Service Plan 2013 (NSP2013), which was published on 10 January 2013, sets out the type and volume of service the Health Service Executive (HSE) will provide directly, and through a range of agencies funded by us, during 2013, within the funding provided by Government and within the stipulated employment levels. NSP2013 is informed by the Department of Health’s (DoH) Statement of Strategy 2011 - 2014 and Future Health - A Strategic Framework for Reform of the Health Service 2012 - 2015, both of which set out the Government’s priorities for the health services in the coming years. In developing the NSP2013, the HSE’s national priorities for 2013 are to: Deliver the maximum level of safe services possible for the reduced funding and employment levels. This involves prioritising some services over others to meet the most urgent needs. Deliver the cost reductions needed to deliver a balanced Vote in 2013. Implement key elements of the health reform programme. In this context, HSE Dublin Mid-Leinster (DML) has commenced the process of implementing the NSP2013, the detail of which is outlined in this document “HSE Dublin Mid-Leinster – Regional Service Plan 2013”. This service plan outlines the type and volume of services, key priorities and actions at regional and local level across hospitals and Community Services in local HSE Areas arising out of the NSP2013, to be implemented in DML in 2013.
