Who we are

Governance

The National Care Experience Programme is a partnership between the Health Information and Quality Authority (HIQA), the Health Service Executive (HSE) and the Department of Health, with patient representatives providing their input at each stage of the programme.

The partners have signed a Memorandum of Understanding, which outlines their roles and responsibilities. A number of data sharing agreements have been entered into to support the sharing of data under the Memorandum of Understanding.
