Action Plan
1. End the Two-tier System
The Health Service Executive (HSE) must be replaced. This is not a new idea. In 2010 Fine Gael promised to abolish the HSE and introduce “a completely new health system”. Fine Gael planned to replace it as part of their five point election plan in 2010.
2. Fund Providers That Deliver
Public health service funding must be awarded to providers that deliver timely medical care. Existing health service providers who do not deliver timely medical care must be discontinued.
3. Cut Healthcare Costs
To reduce costs in healthcare, the government must increase recruitment of workers from Ireland and abroad. The cap on college places for medical students must be removed. Legally prohibit overcharging in healthcare, just like in Germany.
