The HSE provides a broad range of health and social care services across Ireland. Some services are provided by the HSE and others are provided by voluntary organisations and charities, especially in the disability sector. There are also services provided in other sectors.

- specialist assessment
- rehabilitation
- income maintenance
- community care
- residential care
- respite
- home care and day-care.
Some services are provided directly by the HSE and many community, residential and rehabilitative training services are provided by voluntary organisations with grant aid from the HSE.
