Page 2 - Healthy Ireland For Louth Plan

Foreword

The Louth Local Community Development Committee (LCDC) is delighted to publish its
Healthy Ireland Plan for Louth 2018-2022. The Plan reflects a significant body of work
produced in a short time frame, exemplifying the co-operation and support of the partners
within the LCDC and beyond. Healthy Ireland is based on the premise that health and well
being is affected by all aspects of a persons life including education, housing, financial
status and physical environment.

This Plan will increase the proportion of people who are healthy at all stages of life, reduce
health inequalities, protect the public from threats to health and wellbeing and create an
environment where every individual and sector of society can play their part in achieving
a healthy Louth.

The Plan is designed to reflect various national and local strategies/plans and in particular
the Local Economic and Community Plan (LECP) and reports on the performance under 3
areas – shared spaces, shared knowledge and shared well-being.

Louth LCDC is focused on operating within existing structures by exploring how resources
can be aligned and used with maximum efficiency and effectiveness. The LCDC is confident
that by listening to the people of County Louth and incorporating the learning from the
delivery and process of the LECP to date the monitoring of the delivery of the HI plan for
Louth will not prove a burden for our partners as updates will be sought through the LECP
process.
