This publication, the 13th issue of R&D Today - the biannual newsletter of the Health and Social Care Research and Development Division (HC R&D) - profiles the work supported by Northern Ireland’s Health and Social Care R&D fund. This issue reflects the position of HSC R&D as a division of the regional Public Health Agency.
 

This first annual report of the Director of Public Health highlights the many public health challenges that affect people in Northern Ireland and how the public health team tackles this complex agenda by working with many statutory, community and voluntary partner organisations across health, local government, education, housing and other sectors.
