About Investing For Health
Introduction
Investing for Health sets out the Northern Ireland Executive’s
plans to improve the health of all our people and to reduce health inequalities.
Health and well-being is largely determined by the social, economic,
physical and cultural environment. Health policy has so far tended to
concentrate on the treatment of ill health rather than on its prevention.
This strategy seeks to shift that emphasis by taking action to tackle
the factors which adversely affect health and perpetuate health inequalities.
Investing for Health has been shaped by the considered views of the
many respondents from across a wide range of sectors and interests who
took part in the consultation process. It contains a framework for action
to improve health and well-being and reduce health inequalities which
is based on partnership working amongst Departments, public bodies,
local communities, voluntary bodies, District Councils and the social
partners.
