To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will publish details of initiatives taken by his Department to prevent ill health in the communities in Northern Ireland.

Mr. Ancram

The regional strategy for the health and personal social services in Northern Ireland, published in November 1991, emphasises health promotion and disease prevention as the key to health gain. It sets a series of objectives and targets for a number of key areas and risk factors aimed at securing lasting improvements in the health and well-being of the population of Northern Ireland.
