An Annotated Bibliography on Health and Related Issues

This is the report of a major conference organised by the Federation of Irish Societies and the SHARE Project at the King's Fund in November 1996, which brought together Irish community organisations and purchasers and providers of health and social care services. The purpose of the conference was to raise the profile of Irish needs, including information needs, and to promote consideration of the ways in which access to health and social care services by Irish people might be improved. The report contains the proceedings of the conference, including contributions from the British Co-Chair of the British-Irish Interparliamentary Body and from the Irish Ambassador: in addition to an important policy statement delivered by the Vice-Chair of the Commission for Racial Equality and a presentation from Seeromanie Harding of ONS on the Health second generation Irish people in England and Wales. Reports of workshops on mental health issues, alcohol and drug misuse, older people, and health promotion highlight best practice and contain a series of recommendations from the workshops directed both to health care commissioners ands Irish agencies.
