The publication of this framework lays the foundations to improve the health and wellbeing of our nation over the coming generation. Based on international evidence, it outlines a new commitment to public health with a considerable emphasis on prevention, while at the same time advocating for stronger health systems. It aims to create an Irish society where everyone can enjoy positive physical and mental health, and where wellbeing is valued and supported at every level of society. The Framework has created the conditions and a governance structure at the highest level of government to facilitate cross-sectoral and cross-governmental actions to improve health and wellbeing status. This is a broad framework of actions which are to be undertaken across all government departments, public sector organisations, businesses, communities and individuals to improve health and wellbeing and reduce the risks posed to future generations.
