Ireland’s health care system faces a number of challenges namely that of access to services, inequity and sustainability. Recently universal health insurance has been a central issue in political debate. The IMO paper lays out the principles that should form the backbone of a chosen system of universal health care regardless of the model of funding as follows:
- Universality - Access to adequate healthcare for all
- Services that are free at the point of access
- Equity of access
- Solidarity
- Transparency
- Quality of care and value for money
- Choice and mobility
- Clinical autonomy
- Efficiency
- Affordability
- Sustainability.
