Abstract

This report, funded by the Health Service Executive (HSE), uses the Economic and Social Research Institute’s (ESRI) Hippocrates model to project regional workforce requirements to 2040 for a selection of staff providing HSE primary and community care services. The professions and grades under consideration are a selection of Health and Social Care Professions (HSCPs) (audiologists, dietitians, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, podiatrists, speech and language therapists) and associated health and social care assistants (HSCAs), public health and community nurses and health care assistants (HCAs).
