Letter to Consultee
Consultation response questionnaire / Equality impactThe Department of Health has published a draft 10 year strategic framework for the planning and delivery of safe, effective and sustainable imaging services for Northern Ireland. The draft framework proposes:
- 8 guiding quality-based principles to underpin the design, configuration and delivery of medical imaging services which represent best practice for imaging services in Northern Ireland
- 19 strategic recommendations drawn from the findings of reports developed by clinically led workstreams and other overlapping reports that provide a high level strategy for medical imaging services across the region
- 5 thematic priorities to provide a regional view of the amalgamated recommendations from the individual reports
- A regional approach to planning imaging services across HSC organisations, which could potentially be provided by an ‘imaging board’. This body could have a range of functions including leading on the implementation of the recommendations of the review
This consultation is seeking views of all stakeholders on the strategy.
