Fair Care – Making our Health Services Work

 Even with resources scarce, we can still focus on fairness. The acid test is how we help families cope with crises in their lives.

 FairCare is our fundamental reorganisation of the Irish health system based on three fundamental principles: 

• Treat all patients equally: ending the distinction between public and private patients
• Reward well-run hospitals by paying hospitals for the number of patients they treat and the quality of care they provide
• Allow patients choose their own health insurer who will compete to deliver a uniform package of benefits 

This approach gives control back to people. Money follows the patients’ needs, not the priority of bureaucrats.
