IPH supported the Public Health Agency (PHA) to undertake a ‘health impact assessment’ on the Cardiovascular Service Framework which has identified ways of delivering cardiovascular services that will help to tackle health inequalities.  

The PHA, in partnership with a wide variety of community, voluntary and statutory bodies, leads the work to improve cardiovascular health and wellbeing, through better prevention and treatment services, delivered through a 'cardiovascular service framework'.  This new report will help to improve the way those services are delivered by focusing on the needs of disadvantaged people.
