The Sláintecare Integration Innovation Fund (SIIF), a ring-fenced multi-annual fund supporting projects with a focus on delivering the Right Care, in the Right Place, at the Right Time by the Right Team, is fostering a culture of innovation to support the delivery of health service reform. Its aim is to test and evaluate projects that serve as a ‘proof of concept’ with a view to mainstreaming and scaling successful projects.
Since 2019, SIIF has funded and tested over 130 projects that serve as a “proof of concept”, for innovative and integrated models of care, which led to the mainstreaming & scaling of successful projects.
The project referred to by the Deputy is one of a number of SIIF projects currently being evaluated. Once that evaluation is complete, the decision on the future of the project will be communicated to the Project.
