Removing private activity from public hospitals and its impact on the healthcare system

As part of the Sláintecare programme to reform Ireland's healthcare system, an Independent Review Group has recommended that private medical practice be ended in public hospitals.  The approach to the provision of healthcare in Ireland is of great national interest from a societal perspective. This forum aims to explore and debate the different aspects and implications of the Sláintecare proposals for Ireland's healthcare system.

Agenda

Speakers representing several of the key stakeholders will present at this forum.

In addition, a Q & A panel will allow many of the key issues to be discussed in detail.

Brendan McCarthy FSAI, Chair of the Healthcare Committee, Society of Actuaries in Ireland will chair this forum.

Sheelagh Malin FSAI, Vice President of the Society and Chairperson of the Health Insurance Authority, will be moderating the Q&A panel.
