Allocating Resources - How Can We Get It Right?

Date: 21st & 22nd February 2012

Venue: Tullamore Court Hotel

Allocating resources in a fair and equitable manner has historically been and remains to this day a stubbornly difficult nut to crack. The reasons for this are varied and often complex, but a significant contributing factor is no doubt the absence of a sophisticated services costing methodology. This deficit will become more accentuated in the context of the new Disability Policy which envisages a greater emphasis on individualised funding and personal budgets. The new way of doing business also proposes a greater focus on Commissioning and Tendering of Services and a proper services costing methodology is a very necessary pre-requisite before such an approach can be successfully introduced.

Mindful of these challenges the National Federation of Voluntary Bodies has organised a two day event which will examine work in this country and in the UK of service costings. We will look at the practical application of the SIS system in one large service provider in Ireland. We will also hear about the practical experiences of both commissioners and service providers for whom commissioning and tendering of services is the lived reality.

This conference will be of interest to Senior Management of Service Providers; Board Members; Disability & Other Senior Management in HSE, and others. 

Cost to attend Conference: €110 per delegate, which includes attendance at the above two day event, lunch and tea/coffee on both days.  An additional charge of €40 will apply if you would like to attend the conference dinner on Tuesday, 21st February.
