Health service should be ‘ashamed’ of conditions some patients experience, chief clinical officer tells conference
The health service had to try to avoid “stagnation” and instances where policies were issued “and somebody hopes it gets implemented,” Mr Gloster said.Patients expected a health service that was “effective and timely, provided by healthcare professionals who talk to each other and work together,” which he added was “not that big an ask”.
Dr Colm Henry, HSE chief clinical officer, told the conference that at present the health service was “letting older people down”. “We have centres of excellence; a new children’s hospital, new maternity hospital, that should be the pride of any health service,” he said. There was a “serious sense of purpose” to address the fact that “we are letting older people down,” the senior HSE official said.
