Trinity College Dublin Researchers Have Provided New Study Findings on Health Services (The role of governance in shaping health system reform: a case study of the design and implementation of new health regions in Ireland, 2018-2023).

A new report from Trinity College Dublin discusses the role of governance in shaping health system reform in Ireland from 2018 to 2023. The study examines the impact of governance on the reform process, from policy design to implementation, using a qualitative, multi-method approach. The research identifies deficiencies in accountability, transparency, and clarity of roles and responsibilities, as well as a lack of trust between key institutional actors. The findings emphasize the need to strengthen governance arrangements and processes to address these challenges and highlight the complexity of health system reform. [Extracted from the article]
