Healthy Ireland is the National Framework for action to improve health and wellbeing of people living in Ireland.

Since 2014 the Healthy Ireland Survey has been administered on an annual basis on behalf of the Department of Health. http://www.healthyireland.ie/accessibility/healthy-ireland-survey/.
Reports of the first 3 survey waves; 2015, 2016 and 2017, have been published; findings of the fourth Wave will be published in autumn 2018. The surveys have provided an up-to-date picture of the nation’s health.
