Division 2.1 Health Information

United Kingdom

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

The Public Health Programme aims to produce comparable information on health and health-related behaviour. The projects produced under this strand are intended to contribute to the definition of indicators, collection, analysis and dissemination of data, and exchange of best practice (health impact assessment, health technology assessment). Regular reports of a general or specific nature will use the data and information generated, and there will also be more widespread dissemination of information and linking of information resources via the public health portal.

The statistical aspect of health information will be developed, in collaboration with Member States, using the Community Statistical Programmef1 as necessary.
