A new National Rare Disease strategy is under development, expected to be delivered in early 2025. It aims to provide a renewed focus on rare diseases, building on the work of the National Rare Disease Plan for Ireland 2014 - 2018, to meet the needs of people living with rare diseases, their families and healthcare professionals over the next five years.
The vision of this strategy is to ensure that all people living with a rare disease, and their families, have access to equitable, inclusive and cross-sectoral care throughout their life journey that will enable them to reach their full potential and to live their best lives.
