A key component of the Sláintecare model is the development of Community Health Networks (CHNs) each covering a population of approximately 50,000. Integrated health needs assessments at the CHN level will be used to inform health and allied service planning for each CHN.

 

CHNs will manage and deliver local services in a defined area, working together to meet the needs of the local community. Across an average population of 50,000, it will consist of a number of Primary Care Teams (PCTs) involving General Practitioners (GPs) and a multi-disciplinary team in the planning and delivery of services in a structured way. There will be 96 CHNs across Ireland.

 

HSE South (Cork and Kerry) is divided into 14 CHN’s, listed in Appendix 1.This report addresses the population health analysis of Community Healthcare Network 1, including the population structure, health indicators of the population, an overview of the health services and reference to available performance indicators for these services.
