  • Planning for Health Trends and Priorities to Inform Health Service Planning 2017 Foreword Foreword
    PLANNING FOR HEALTH TRENDS AND PRIORITIES TO INFORM HEALTH SERVICE PLANNING 2017 FOREWORD FOREWORD I am pleased to welcome the publication of Planning for Health: Trends and Priorities to Inform Health Service Planning 2017. This is the second publication designed to support service planning in the Health Service. It was our intention in this report to build upon and augment the data and analyses in the 2016 report setting out current and future healthcare demands and needs. The objective of this report is to build, over time, a robust evidence base that will support a more evidence informed approach to estimates and resource assessment linked to service planning and resource allocation decisions. As with last year’s report, it provides a detailed population focused analysis of current and future needs and demands in terms of demographic pressures for 2017 and also provides a five year forecast to 2022. The Health Service in Ireland will see a rise in demand of between 20% and 30% over the next 10 years. Ireland continues on a trajectory of significant demographic change, with people living longer than ever before. Our population aged 65 years and over is growing by approximately 20,000 each year and is projected to increase by over 110,000 in the next five years. Life expectancy is now greater than the EU average. These very positive developments also present the health service with significant challenges that need to be addressed, in part through better planning and evidence-based resource allocation models. This report marks a further step to utilising current demographic projections, disease prevalence, and service utilisation data and knowledge to support decision-making and inform service design so that we can improve health outcomes in the longer term.
