During the Benchmarking process in 2015, service providers were asked if they had examples of services that had been changed or reconfigured during the last 5 years in line with New Directions. 33 providers organisations have responded with examples of change projects and 11 of these projects were presented at the New Directions Learning Event in the Tullamore Court Hotel on Wednesday May 18th. The Learning Event was targeted at senior management of provider agencies and the HSE that have responsibility for contracting, managing and providing day service supports.
