Healthy Ireland for Louth Plan 2018-2022

4. Implementation

Governance

The LCDC is the ultimate governance structure in the monitoring and review of the
Healthy Ireland for Louth Plan. There will be a subgroup, composition to be agreed by the
LCDC, which will provide operational oversight to the delivery of the plan. Updates will be
obtained through the current LCDC process using the traffic light monitoring system once
a year.

The LCDC will work in partnership within its own partner delivery structure and partners
outside the LCDC membership. LCC as a lead partner in the LCDC will support and facilitate
community groups to deliver the Healthy Ireland Plan for Louth through building capacity
and support through the Healthy Ireland Fund and other funds.

Resourcing the Plan

The plan has the potential to be resourced through the Healthy Ireland Fund and other
community funds such as the Community Enhancement Programme, Town and Village
Renewal Scheme and Outdoor Recreation Infrastructure Scheme. The commitment of the
various stakeholders will see actions being implemented through individual corporate
plans and existing programmes.

Communicating the Plan

• In the Healthy Ireland Fund 2017 DkIT developed a reporting ICT tool which will be used
on a pilot basis to monitor and report on the delivery of the Healthy Ireland for Louth
Plan

• The LCDC will rely on the HSE CHO 8 area to provide data on the state of health of the
population in Louth and comparable CHO 8 counties

• Louth County Council and the Public Participation Network will continue to communicate
and promote updates through the Friday Communiqué

• Louth LCDC will continue to work in partnership and with other partners to communicate
and influence individual corporate plans to embrace the Healthy Ireland for Louth Plan
