Get involved: Health Service consultation

Do you use the health services in Ireland? Are you interested in taking part in consultations on how health services can be improved?

If so, then check out this opportunity to have a voice in the way the Health Service Executive (HSE) plans, provides and reviews health services.

The involvement and consultation of people (of all ages!) who use the health service is key to improving health services for everyone.  To ensure that everyone’s voices are heard, the HSE and the Office of Consumer Affairs are currently putting together a database with the contact details of health service users and community group representatives who are interested in participating in local or national events relating to the design, development and delivery of Irish Health Services.

If you wish to get involved and get heard, then register your contact details with the Office of Consumer Affairs. You will then be included in the new consultation database.

Note: Names and contact details will not be released to third parties. The database will be maintained by the Office of Consumer Affairs in line with best practice and the Data Protection Act 1998-2003, and will only be used for the purpose outlined above.
