The Health Technology Assessment Directorate Plan 2025-2027 outlines the strategic direction for the HTA Directorate within the overarching framework of the HIQA Corporate Plan 2025-2027. The HTA Directorate Plan outlines how we will build on our achievements to date, strengthen our capacity, and ensure that we remain responsive to the changing needs of the health and social care system. 

Central to this is our commitment to collaboration — working closely with patients, carers, the public, and our partners across the healthcare sector, academia, industry and beyond to ensure that our work reflects best practice and remains transparent, relevant and grounded in real experiences.

In line with the Corporate Plan, we remain focused on delivering tangible outcomes over the next three years, while keeping a clear view of our long-term aims. In order to deliver these outcomes, we have outlined objectives and priorities across three pillars (Our People, Our Practices, Our Products), underpinned by key enablers.

The HTA Directorate Plan shows our commitment to supporting a health and social care system that delivers safe, sustainable, efficient and equitable care. We will achieve this by working independently to be the trusted organisation in HTA and evidence synthesis, supporting and informing decision-making, by fostering collaborative partnerships and innovative approaches.
