Murphy’s address will focus on how healthcare governance has ramifications not just for healthcare providers but for the public at large.
Alice Murphy, charities, and governance partner at Mason Hayes & Curran, at her desk in its D4 offices In the voluntary hospital sector, each hospital has its own board, and follows a “very clear, hierarchical and well-defined structure”, she explains. In the public hospital system by contrast, “you currently only have one board, and that is the board of the HSE”, she says.
It is, believes Murphy, “a great move” and a timely opportunity for Ireland to also look at bringing corporate governance “closer to the patient in our public hospitals”. Work on the roll-out of the RHAs is continuing apace, and Murphy poses some key questions which are presently under consideration. “What will the boards’ composition be? What will their legal structure be? Will they be statutory boards? How will they be populated?” she asks.
