The follow-up group for securing the future of health care
There is also a follow-up group for the project. The duty of this group is to promote a
dialogue between health care and its stakeholders for the improvement of health services,
to pass on information on the goals of the decision in principle made by the Council of
State and on their implementation, to monitor and assess the progress of implementation,
and when necessary to make proposals on changes and improvements in connection with
implementation.
The follow-up group must take into consideration in its work, for example, the
implementation of the action programme Health care for the 21st Century, the results of
the Meaningful Life programme, the Council of State’s decision in principle on the
Health 2015 public health programme, and the objectives and action programme to be drawn
up for social affairs and health care in the period 2004–2007. Deputy Director
General Marjatta Blanco Sequeiros of the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health chairs the
follow-up group.
