My Department is engaged in policy development and implementation across the full spectrum of issues that impact health and wellbeing in Ireland. To support the Deputy I have listed below the new policy introduced by my Department in the last year which mark significant milestones in the development of health policy for Ireland. These documents are available in detail on gov.ie/health
I would also refer the Deputy to the Department’s Annual Report 2020 which is being finalised at present and will be published in due course. This important strategic document details the achievements of the Department over that time, in particular our achievements as they relate our commitments in the Programme for Government: Our Shared Future are currently.
