The 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.

Data for the review was collected over a period of time; thus it is reasonable to conclude that changes may have occurred in the interim. Where urgent findings emerged during the review phase these were considered by the review team and progressed, where appropriate.
