The Public Health Agency (PHA) commissioned Insight Solutions to deliver a number of stakeholder engagement events, to seek views that would inform the future procurement of services in order to implement the pending Protect Life 2 strategy.  Public engagement events were held in each of the Trust areas and a total of 12 meetings were held across Northern Ireland (at least two in each Trust area with a third in the Belfast area, due to population density and a number of interested stakeholders, and three in the western area due to the geographical spread of residents and services).

The Public Health Agency Annual report 2017-2018 provides background information about the PHA, highlights its achievements buring the 2017-2018 financial year and provides and overview of work undertaken in priority areas within each directorate of the organisation.

The full financial accounts are included in this report as is information on members of the PHA board.

This report outlines the key findings of the recent health needs assessment carried out across Northern Ireland. The aim of the study was to provide baseline information on the health needs, barriers to accessing current services, and the care pathways that exist for those experiencing homelessness across NI. The study sought the views of those receiving support (‘clients’) and those providing that support (‘providers’) on a number of health and well-being indicators.
