Sláinte Healthcare Announces 80 New Jobs
Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation Richard Bruton, TD, and Minister for Health James Reilly, TD, have welcomed the announcement by Sláinte Healthcare that it will create 80 new jobs in the coming year.
The jobs announcement came as the Ministers launched a second call for proposals for innovative healthcare solutions launched by the pilot Health Innovation Hub. Sláinte Healthcare was one of the companies engaged in the first tranche of projects involved in this initiative.
The Health Innovation Hub Demonstrator project, a Government supported initiative under the Action Plan for Jobs 2013, drives collaboration between the health system and enterprises leading to the commercialisation of new healthcare technologies, products and services. The call for proposals includes a focused call for projects in infection control and hygiene management as well as an open call for innovative products or services that have the potential to significantly impact the healthcare system. Details of the call are published on the new website for the Health Innovation Hub which also went live at www.hih.ie.
Minister Bruton said: "A key feature of the Action Plan for Jobs is that it involves all Government Departments and dozens of Agencies – using all the resources of Government to tackle the major challenge that we face, namely job-creation. The Health Innovation Hub is an example of this approach – through this project we are marshalling the resources of the health system to support job-creation.
"Through this hub, healthcare companies can gain access to the health system to trial their products and services, honing and improving them in response to real-life demands. The health system, in turn, benefits by gaining access to cutting edge products and services to solve real problems it faces."
