On 25 October 2016, the then Minister of Health, Michelle O’Neill launched an ambitious 10 year approach to transforming health and social care “Health and Wellbeing 2026: Delivering Together”. Delivering Together was based on the report of the Expert Panel, led by Professor Rafael Bengoa, “Systems, not Structures: Changing Health and Social Care” which was published on the same day.
One of the key actions in Delivering Together, was to hold a public consultation on the current and future configuration of imaging services, taking account of advances in technology, demographics and demands, and looking to both national and international best practice.
Following this consultation the Department of Health has published the consultation report and the final Strategic Framework for imaging services in Northern Ireland.
