The findings presented at the HSE National Health Conference show that over half of patients assessed by GPs under the Opportunistic Case Finding Programme are at high risk of cardiovascular disease or diabetes and are receiving medical intervention. The programme has identified over 100,000 high-risk patients and 6,000 previously undiagnosed cases of chronic disease. Additionally, other improvements in healthcare include reduced waiting lists at major hospitals, increased emergency department presentations, and a decrease in patients on trolleys. The CEO of HSE highlighted Ireland’s progress in patient outcomes and emphasized the importance of ongoing discussions and strategies to sustain and improve healthcare delivery.
