One of our central aims is to influence and shape policy to achieve an overall goal of promoting healthy public policy. We use government department policy consultation processes as an important way to influence policy and practice. The aim of our policy responses is to highlight health and wellbeing considerations, particularly in areas where health traditionally is not given high priority. Part of our information role is also to act as a resource to other organisations and to share information and learning on the WHO core themes as well as the wider Healthy Cities approach. The main aim of our information function is to support policy and planning. Since 2003, we have developed a very successful electronic information service, which provides quick and direct links to Departmental press releases, relevant research findings as well as selected other information, particularly from other Healthy Cities and Belfast Healthy Cities’ partners. Feedback on the service is excellent – it provides individuals with direct access to up to date news and information. The service is open to anyone interested.
