The seventh Director of Public Health Annual Report, launched on 8 June 2016, focuses on demonstrating the economic worth of public health interventions. The report examines a number of interventions and programmes that are currently being funded by the Public Health Agency across each of the three public health domains - health improvement, service development/screening and health protection - and highlights their economic value in order to set out the case for a preventive public health approach.

This Infant Mental Health Framework represents a commitment by the Public Health Agency, Health and Social Care Board and Trusts, as well as academic, research, voluntary and community organisations across Northern Ireland, to improve interventions from the ante-natal period through to children aged three years old.
