Following from the recent local elections and the subsequent composition of a new HSE Regional Health Forum South, its South East Committee met for the first time this week in Kilkenny.
There are four HSE Regional Health Forums (see https://www.hse.ie/eng/about/personalpq/rhforums/) and their membership is made up of nominated representatives from the city and county councils in their functional area. The Regional Health Forum South serves counties Carlow, Cork, Kerry, Kilkenny, South Tipperary, Waterford and Wexford.
The Fora make representations to the HSE on the range and operation of health services in their areas.
Present for this committee meeting were the recently appointed HSE Dublin South East Integrated Healthcare Area managers Roseanne Killeen (for Carlow-Kilkenny/Tipperary South) and Dr. Sinead Reynolds (for Waterford/Wexford).
