Public Health

The ninth Director of Public Health (DPH) Annual Report focuses on early intervention.

The eighth Director of Public Health (DPH) Annual Report focuses on health inequalities in Northern Ireland.

The health of people in Northern Ireland is improving. However, the improvements are not distributed equally across all areas of our population. Individuals living in the most deprived areas of the region are at higher risk of many health conditions and have shorter life expectancies than those in the least deprived areas. These inequalities in health are unfair, and are avoidable.

The seventh Director of Public Health (DPH) Annual Report, launched on 8 June 2016, focuses on demonstrating the economic worth of public health interventions.

The PHA, supported by the Institute of Public Health in Ireland (IPH) and other agencies and individuals, has completed a health impact assessment (HIA) on the Cardiovascular Service Framework (CVSFW) for Northern Ireland.

The CVSFW is the first in a series of service frameworks developed in Northern Ireland to guide HSC provision from prevention and health improvement over early intervention in communities and general practice into hospital and other institutional settings towards rehabilitation, palliative care and end of life.
