Monitoring system for the Interim Standards
The HSE in partnership with NDA and Umbrella bodies is developing an outcomes-focused monitoring system to support the implementation of New Directions.
A Steering Group was convened and a Project Plan was developed and approved in March 2023. The objective of the project is to: “Develop a monitoring system to assess day services’ progress towards achievement of the Interim Standards for New Directions to assist stakeholders to deliver services and supports in accordance with the vision and stated objectives outlined in the New Directions and the Value for Money reports.”
We are conducting consultations to inform the development of the outcomes-focused monitoring system. There are 4 strands of consultations which will take place in Q3 2024:
- Adults who attend day services
- Family members
- Direct Support Staff
- Interim Standards Organisational Leads

New Person-Centred Planning Resources (May 2024)
The core values of New Directions are Person-Centeredness, Community Inclusion, Active Citizenship and Quality. The HSE, people attending services and providers have worked together to develop accessible resources that will help everyone to understand what person-centred planning means for them. This includes information on person-centred planning, understanding what is important to the person, and how person-centred planning works for the person, family and friends, and staff working in HSE funded disability services.
