The HSE has adopted a Population Health model of health and social care, which takes a more proactive approach on maximising the health and well-being of the population. A key part of this is the development of Primary Care Teams, and this development is a primary strategic aim within PCCC. Primary Care Teams will serve resident populations of between 4,000 to 10,000, and their composition will include General Practitioners, Public Health Nurses, Community Therapists, Social Workers and Home Care Support Workers. These teams will be supported by a Primary and Social Care Network serving catchments of between 30,000 to 50,000, where a broader range of services will be available. In the community, there is also private nursing home provision and across the 40 homes, there is a total complement of 1,747 beds as presented in Table 25 below.

Current service delivery Regional self sufficiency Review of acute hospital services in HSE Mid-West An action plan for acute and community services Within the National Hospitals Office (NHO), there is a move towards achieving regional self sufficiency and addressing any significant gaps in acute service provision within regions to ensure geographical equity 49 . Examining the extent to which HSE Mid-West has achieved regional self sufficiency can be seen through an analysis of hospital discharges using HIPE data. This shows that 81.1 per cent of residents in Mid-West use the acute hospital services in HSE Mid-West. Further analysis shows that the residents in County North Tipperary when compared with the other counties are more likely to access services outside of HSE Mid-West, predominantly accessing services in Waterford and Dublin. Only 4.5 per cent of residents in Limerick City access services outwith HSE Mid-West. Table 26 shows a profile of this activity by county. Table 26: Residents treated within and outwith HSE Mid-West County Mid West Discharges Outside Total % Outflow Main Areas for outflows and % Limerick City 18,206 849 19,055 4.5% Limerick: 13.8% = Dublin (8%), Limerick County 19,566 5,188 24,754 21.0% Cork (5%), and Galway (1%) Clare 20,493 4,232 24,725 17.1% Galway (10%), Dublin (5%), and Cork (2%) Waterford (14%), Dublin (8%), North Tipperary 11,748 6,096 17,844 34.2% Midlands (5%), Galway (4%), and Cork (3%) Total Mid-West 70,013 16,365 86,378 18.9% Source: Analysis of HIPE data, 2005. Given this profile of activity, with 19 per cent of patients travelling outside of HSE Mid-West to access acute hospital services it is reasonable to assume, that in the future, this pattern will continue but at a reduced level. There is also a proportion of patient activity occurring at acute hospitals in HSE Mid-West which arises from patients who are resident outside of HSE Mid-West. The majority of these patients are resident in the HSE South area. These patients are being admitted for emergency general medicine, emergency general surgery and elective orthopaedics. Taking into account the inflows and outflows of acute hospital activity for the Mid-West, then there is a net loss in activity as presented in Table 27. 49 National Service Plan, Health Service Executive, January 2007. 98
