Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 27 November 2025
527. Deputy Ken O'Flynn asked the Minister for Health when she expects full deployment of the integrated financial management system across all voluntary hospitals; and the milestones that have been agreed with each hospital following her recent correspondence to them. [66975/25]
View answerAs of July 2025, IFMS has been deployed to all statutory sites – that is, all sites directly managed by the HSE – so over 80% of all health expenditure is now managed through IFMS. Planning is underway to extend IFMS to voluntary hospitals and other voluntary providers, which will cover the remaining 20% of health expenditure. Implementation in the voluntary sector is expected to begin in early 2026. As planning for this roll-out is not yet complete, I will provide a timeline for full implementation shortly.
