25th January - Health Regulators Forum The Health and Social Care Regulatory Forum of Chief Executives recently launched a publication entitled Public and Service User Involvement in Health and Social Care Regulation in Ireland. This Forum of Chief Executives of Health Regulatory Bodies was established in 2008 to provide a mechanism for exploring opportunities to harmonise certain business processes, share best practice and facilitate coordination where appropriate between member organisations. It also aims to share knowledge and expertise on matters of common interest with a view to enhancing the overall practice of health and personal social services regulation in Ireland for the benefit of public health.
In response to the recently published recommendations of the Commission for Patient Safety and Quality Assurance that ‘robust and validated patient and public involvement should be a requirement for all health care oversight, scrutiny, quality control and other accountability mechanisms’ (Commission on Patient Safety and Quality Assurance, 2008), the Forum have published this report to encourage greater service user involvement among agencies involved in ensuring patient safety and quality assurance in the Irish health services.
