Established in January 2005, the Health Service Executive is the single
body responsible for public health and personal social services in Ireland. It
provides these services through a network of Local Health Offices, health
centres and clinics. Health and personal social services in the HSE are
divided into three service delivery units: Population Health promotes and
protects the health of the entire population by influencing health service
delivery through strategy and policy; Primary, Community and Continuing
Care delivers health and personal social services in the community and
other settings; The National Hospitals Office provides acute hospital and
ambulance services throughout the country. These services are organised
through four administrative areas: HSE West, HSE South, HSE Dublin/North
East and HSE Dublin/Mid-Leinster. For further information on the HSE and
details of local offices, see the separate listing in this directory on Page 228.
Publications: a range of publications are available on the website.
