Plans to subsume CHI into HSE would have 'no clear benefits'

Mo Flynn said: 'The Irish Voluntary Healthcare Association does not support any attempts to subsume voluntary hospitals under the aegis of the HSE. This would be a highly complex process with no clear practical benefits to patient care.' Picture: Colin/Collins

Any plans to subsume Children’s Health Ireland into the HSE would not be supported by the national association representing voluntary hospitals and healthcare organisations.

Irish Voluntary Healthcare Association CEO Mo Flynn spoke out after it emerged health minister Jennifer Carroll MacNeill is actively considering this move.
