The Health Promotion Unit of the Department of Health's Nutrition Health
Promotion Framework for Action represented a five year plan for nutrition
health promotion activities and was launched in 1991 by the Minister for Health.
Dr Rory O'Hanlon. The initiative was broad ranging employing a settings based
approach in the community, generally in schools in the workplace, health care facilities, and in association with the food industry and other organisations. The basis of the public health message was the existing healthy eating guidelines, which were qualitative in nature but also incorporated a number of specific quantifiable targets in relation to dietary components. During the past five years there have been a range of developments germane to public health,
health promotion and nutrition. The establishment of the National Nutrition Surveillance
Centre was one of those initiatives. and in 1996 we were asked to undertake a review of the
Framework activities in the light of these events and to make suggestions for likely future
directions of public health nutrition policy in the context of our nutrition surveillance
information. The present report represents the outcome of that review. This is not an
evaluation of the Framework for Action but a summary of the work undertaken and
recommendations for the future. No specific summative or formative evaluation was planned
though as shall be seen, specific initiatives were the subject of evaluation throughout the
lifetime of the Framework and these we report here.
The Framework was primarily the brainchild of the Health Promotion Unit, spearheaded by
the consultant dietitian to the Department of Health.
