Weekly infectious disease reports

The Notification of Infectious Diseases (NOIDs) provides weekly updates on the number of reported infectious disease cases. These reports include:

Advance Care Planning Seeds Grants Up to £2000 available

The last two years have been challenging for all. The pandemic increased the number of people who died in Northern Ireland.

It brought what really matters to people into sharp focus.

We are inviting communities to reflect on this. To use their creativity to show each other what matters and how we might keep that central in our lives and planning for our futures.
