A new strategic plan that is closely aligned to the Health Ministry’s service delivery priorities with a special focus on patient experience was launched today.

This plan will set the direction for the provision of health services in the country for the next 5 years.

Permanent Secretary for the Health Ministry, Bernadette Welch says this strategic plan has a more outcome level focus.

She says this plan is more closely aligned to the Health Ministry’s service delivery priorities with a special focus on patient experience.


Welch says over the next five years they plan to focus on attracting, selecting, retaining and empowering the right people to create a diverse, inclusive and engaged workforce.

She adds this includes designing attraction and recruitment strategies, rapidly deploying staff, monitoring staff satisfaction and ensuring regular analysis of the workforce.

Welch says they need to reduce the fragmentation of services and foster greater trust and collaboration across all of their partners.
