The Department of Health engages with a range of international fora on an ongoing basis. The purpose of this engagement is to promote and protect Ireland’s interests on health policy and related matters, and to benefit from the expertise and best practice available internationally. All invitations to attend events abroad are given careful consideration, taking into account competing work pressures and resource constraints.
