Sadly just beating the Danes isn’t good enough in this case
This seems mostly to show that there isn’t much correlation between how good a health system is and the number of hospital beds per capita.
If I’d to get hospital care in Bulgaria or Sweden I know which I’d pick.
I image there are a lot of other factors that are relevant. Off the top of my head.
Age of population.
Support outside of hospitals.
Equality of access.
Nursing home system.
Beds always seems a blunt way of measuring things. A bed in a hospital isn’t much good if they don’t have the specialist I need.
I’m not anti-immigrant or anything like that but all of our services are under immense pressure because our population has increased exponentially recently.
There needs to be a correlation between the capacity of our services and the amount of people we take in. I think you should be able to point that out without people calling you “far right” or “anti immigrant”.
As of April 2024 there were 835,000 Non-Irish Citizens living in Ireland.
Healthier populations need less beds per capita – hospitals are expensive and inefficient, and as Sweden shows the need for hospital capacity can be mitigated by robust primary care and healthy lifestyles
Unfortunately, we do not have those things, or the level of hospital beds for comparable systems …
This data appears largely uninformative, as it fails to account for key factors—such as population age, general public health, and the availability of medical personnel—that critically influence healthcare outcomes.
Simply adding more beds is possible but it isn’t a solution when most facilities are already understaffed; without adequate staff, patients may lie in beds without receiving the care they need.
HSE has a management problem, not a funding one.
Congratulations. You’ve found a metric where Scandinavia doesn’t make the rest of us look shit.
Very surprised to see Denmark, Sweden & Finland at the bottom, worse than us! And the only thing we do worse than healthcare is housing!
What’s a 20 year vision that gets us a top 5 healthcare system in Europe? We have a big surplus, no problem finding several billion to inject into infrastructure over 10 years. Resourcing seems to be the issue. Bloated administration and poor value for money for scarcity of highly specialized consultants. Dissolve HSE, mass redundancies and buy out from contracts and start an administrative body from scratch?
Honestly I think our biggest gap in government is having highly competent and skilled centralized procurement, where work force planning is efficient and the expertise exist that companies like BAM can’t outsmart us by having a far more sophisticated understanding of contracts and tenders and knowing half of the project requirements aren’t included in the multi billion contract and civil servants will only realize this half way through the construction phase and will be bent over a barrell and allow the extortion of the tax payer.
Before we allow another cent be spent on a mega project, we need competent planning and procurement expertise.
The many failures in this country are so deeply systemic in the failure of institutions, it would probably take a century to fix, if the political will existed, which it doesn’t.
