As part of a HSE wide initiative to improve governance arrangements for the funding of Non-Statutory Agencies, a national framework has been developed which will ensure a consistent approach.

This Framework seeks to provide a level of governance, which will link funding provided to a quantum of service, and provides for these services to be linked to quality standards, with continuous monitoring to ensure equity, efficiency and effective use of available resources.

A critical element of the Framework is the use of standard documentation to formalise the funding arrangements. This documentation is available for download under the following headings.
