Since the launch of Building Healthier Hearts in 1999 the Government has committed more than €60 million towards implementing its recommendations. The most recent report on its implementation, Ireland's Changing Heart, was published in March 2003. At present, my Department, with the assistance of the Health Service Executive, is preparing a paper for the advisory forum on cardiovascular health to report on progress in implementing the cardiovascular health strategy and to inform future policy in this area.
