Key Reform Initiatives Under TYC Shifting 5% of hospital expenditure with reinvestment in primary, community and social care services Improving integration of care through the development of integrated care partnerships – reducing need for unnecessary hospital visits Maximising the potential of technology Building a model of care which is focused on the individual rather than the institutions
Impact of budget allocation – 2014/15 • Deterioration in waiting times for elective services – which would exacerbate the health inequalities we are committed to addressing • Compromising the safety and quality of services provided to patients and clients • Compromising the delivery of statutory requirements, Programme of Government commitments and key Ministerial priorities and commitments • A growing parity gap between Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK by not funding all demand led pressures
Choices For Executive 1 Increase even further the extent of savings required across the HSC 2 Constraining pay for HSC staff 3 Reducing the range and/or standard of services offered 4 Impose additional charges or co-payments for services 5 Provide additional recurrent resources to DHSSPS
