Health Service Executive, Annual Report 2006 07 Chairman’s Statement Service Delivery The HSE’s annual National Service Plan sets out the health and personal social services it is committed to providing each year. The Service Plan for 2006 was adopted by the Board at the start of the year and approved by the Minister for Health and Children. I am happy to report that the HSE delivered on all major requirements of that Plan within the financial resources allocated. In addition, in many areas of service a significant increase in the level of activity was provided in 2006 compared to 2005. The overall strategy of the HSE Board and Management is to make it easier for people to access appropriate health services when and where they need them. This requires a re-balancing of the system and a redirection of care delivery to the most appropriate settings. The continued development of Primary Care Teams and the provision of out-of-hours General Practitioner services are fundamental to making it easier for people to access care closer to their homes. Reducing the dependency on acute hospitals by improving community services and increasing the availability of more appropriate beds is also of critical importance. I am pleased to say that In relation to Acute Hospitals, good progress was made
