Northern Ireland Health and Social Wellbeing Survey, 2001

<P>Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.</P>The <i>Northern Ireland Health and Social Wellbeing Survey</i> is sponsored by the Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety, to provide information on and monitor trends in the health of the Northern Ireland population over time. <br>
<br>
The regional strategy for Northern Ireland health and personal social services, published in 1991, set out key health targets in a number of areas. The aim in setting these targets is to increase life expectancy among the population and to improve the quality of people's lives. Good quality information is vital for the formulation of health policies. The <i>Health and Social Wellbeing Survey</i> provides this information and plays a key role in ensuring that health planning is based on reliable information, as well as monitoring the effectiveness of government policies and the extent to which targets are achieved. The survey will be used to help plan health services to meet the needs of the population.<br>
