Our aim in Public Health is to ensure that everyone in Ireland has the best possible health and wellbeing, and the opportunity to live healthier, fairer, and longer lives. This means getting the best start in life, growing, living, and ageing well. This five-year strategy is for public health in the HSE and incorporates the vision, mission, values and priorities of the Public Health function in measurably improving population health outcomes over the next five years. There are many people and functions involved in, aligned to, and essential to the delivery of public health objectives across the breadth and depth of the HSE. The Public Health function is responsible for leading and delivering a proactive, evidence-informed and intelligenceled public health service, focused on the needs of our population, nationally, regionally and locally. We work with a broad range of clinical entities, functions, and agencies within the HSE, to embed public health principles in strategies, policies and service design and delivery across the wider HSE, and to achieve our shared organisational objectives.
