Live Better initiative: PHA recommendations

The PHA led on the planning, delivery and evaluation of the ‘Live Better’ initiative launched by the Minister for Health in July 2024. The aim of the initiative was to address health inequalities by targeting specific health issues, through place-based partnerships involving Primary Care, Health and Social Care Trust and community-based partners. Live Better was used to test principles, concepts and approaches to tackling health inequalities in areas experiencing higher deprivation and communities with the poorest health outcomes. 

In September 2025, facilitated stakeholder feedback workshops were held to recognise work completed, share learning, and provide feedback to inform recommendations for any future plans to tackle health inequalities in Northern Ireland.
