Healthy Ireland Fund 2023-2025 - Round Four
The objective of the Healthy Ireland Fund 2023–2025 is to improve the health and wellbeing of people of all ages and abilities living in Ireland through the implementation of the Healthy Ireland Strategic Action Plan 2021–2025.
For Healthy Ireland Round Four funding, local authorities were required to focus on two of the twenty-seven programme-level Healthy Ireland Outcome Indicators. Following an extensive public and stakeholder consultation and research process in late 2022, the following two indicators were agreed upon for Healthy Meath to focus on with the Round Four funding:
- Increase in positive mental health as per the energy and vitality index
- Decrease in unconditional probability of dying (aged 30-70) from four major non-communicable diseases: cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, or chronic respiratory disease, in terms of potential years of life lost
