Work in Ireland

Working in Ireland

The Health Service Executive (HSE) is responsible for the provision of publicly funded healthcare delivering health and personal social services for everyone living in Ireland.

The HSE is Ireland's largest employer with over 100,000 workers; and has an annual budget of €16 billion, more than any other public sector organisation.

The HSE's organisational structure is divided into three main areas:

    1. Health and Personal Social Services: in turn is divided into three service delivery units:
      • The National Hospitals Office (NHO), which manages acute hospitals and the HSE National Ambulance Service.
      • Primary, Community and Continuing Care (PCCC), which delivers health and personal social services in the community and other settings.
      • Population Health, which promotes and protects the health of the entire population.
    2. Support Services: enables the HSE to function efficiently and cost effectively.
    3. Reform and Innovation: drives the HSE's strategic and corporate planning processes.
