I pledge to do everything that I can to build better health and personal social services. I have a tremendous commitment to improvement of services and the vision to achieve real progress on issues like, hospital waiting lists care and long-stay accommodation of the elderly, services for people with a disability, mental handicap, homelessness, drug addiction and Ald. Ivor Call ely, T.O. community care services. Certain existing service delays are unacceptable. ERHA Chairperson I will be working with the ERHA to make fundamental differences and to achieve signifrcant and noticeable change in service provision over the coming years. The Eastern Regional Health Authority is now the statutory body with overall responsibility for the health and personal social services for the 1.3 million people who live in Dublin, Kildare and Wicklow. The work ahead of the ERHA is both wide-ranging and complex. Its responsibilities include the strategic planning, commissioning, funding, evaluation and monitoring of services. It will also act as an advocate for Cllr. Jim Reilly clients and patients, with the Department of Health and Children. The new ERHA Vice-Chairperson structures provide a forum whereby the voluntary and statutory agencies can work together in a new partnership. As Chairman, my main objective during my year of office will be to help to create a climate for the ERHA in which it can evolve and develop. My hope is that it will be the kind of organisation in which it is possible for the relevant constituent bodies to ensure that everyone who needs the health or personal social services that we are charged to provide will frnd that they are treated efficiently, with courtesy, as speedily as possible, and, as far as possible, in their own locality. The Minister for Health and Children, Mr. Micheal Martin TO., in launching the ERHA on Establishment Day, challenged us to take a radical approach, starting not with existing systems, but with patient need. He asked us to question apparently chronic problems and not to accept the usual answers. This interrogative approach will set us all a headline that can only result in searching and extensive efforts to improve anything that needs to be improved and to make what is already good even better. Whatever we attempt, we do so with the knowledge that we have the support of an excellent infrastructure, a sound workforce, and dedicated personnel for whom the concept of care and service is ingrained. It is up to us all now working together to fulfrl the promise and the challenge. BOARD MEMBERS OF THE ERHA The following are the Board Members of the ERHA. Cllr. Christy Burke Cllr.
