The Regional Service Plan sets out the type and volume of service the HSE Dublin North East will provide directly, or through a range of funded agencies, during 2012 and is consistent with national policies, frameworks, performance targets, standards and resources.

See the chapter on Social inclusion (p.98-101) for figures of substance misuse in the Dublin North East area nad for details of addiction services (including methadone treatment and needle exchange).

Our priorities for 2012:
• Implement/co-ordinate a range of national social inclusion strategies and policies. These include actions in areas such as addiction services, homelessness, intercultural health, travellers’ health, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender health (LGBT). To provide additional capacity to achieve this, we will replace on a more permanent basis the role of the regional service improvement specialist for social inclusion.
• Continue to implement quality standards in both the statutory and voluntary-managed addiction services by enabling services to become QuADS (Quality in Addiction and Drug Services), or equivalent, compliant.
• Continue to implement the National Drugs Strategy 2009-2016 actions in relation to treatment, rehabilitation and prevention.
• Prioritise and implement recommendations of anticipated National Substance Misuse Strategy.
• Prioritise and implement recommendations of anticipated HSE National Hepatitis C Strategy.
• Implement National Homeless Strategy in conjunction with other key partners.
• Continue to progress recommendations of the HSE National Intercultural Health Strategy 2007 - 2012.
• Continue to progress priority actions informed by the All Ireland Traveller Health Study 2011.
• Develop health strategy and associated action plan for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people (LGBT) across all appropriate care groupings.
• Continue to progress priority actions agreed by the National AIDS Strategy’s Education and Prevention sub-committee.
