This document summarises the key proposals for change in the context facing health and social care (HSC) in Northern Ireland and forms the basis for a public consultation on the future of care provision. The report provides details on why there is a compelling need for change and outlines proposals in response to the ‘Review of Health and Social Care in Northern Ireland, Transforming Your Care’ (2011). The discussion of proposals, what they mean and what significant local implications they may have is structured around a set of thematic areas, including population health and wellbeing, delivering services at home and in the community (integrated care partnerships), older people, long term conditions, palliative and end of life care, mental health, learning disability, physical disability and sensory impairment, family and child care, maternity and child health, acute care in hospitals, and the links with the Republic of Ireland and Great Britain. The document also discusses what changes are needed to support the implementation of these proposals, the possible implications for the workforce and organisation, for the finance, for technology advances.
