Compliance Unit for Funded Agencies

The HSE’s Compliance Unit for Funded Agencies is based in the National Finance and Procurement Division and supports the implementation of the HSE’s Governance Framework as it applies to Funded Agencies. The Compliance Unit is the custodian of this Governance Framework, including related processes, and is also responsible for the periodic reporting on the implementation of the Framework at operational level, so as to ensure that all funding released to Funded Agencies is contractually underpinned by either a Service Arrangement or a Grant Aid Agreement.

A critical element of the Governance Framework is the use of the appropriate documentation to underpin the release of public funds to Agencies. The Service Arrangement has undergone a review and the updated Service Arrangement documentation for use in 2025 now consists of a Part I and a Healthcare Provider Specific Requirements (HPSR) which replaces the Part II (Schedules) which was used up until 2024. The Part I will be in place for a four-year period i.e. 2025 – 2028 and the new HPSR will be required to be completed on an annual basis. The revised documentation is available for download under the following headings.
