There may be some degree of overlap, and the distinctions between them are sometimes not evident. The purpose of all of the above is to guide staff in providing best outcomes for service users and high-quality services. International, European and national policies and strategies influence and shape the development of organisation-level strategies and policies as outlined in Figure 1 below. Organisation-level strategy is the key overarching framework that guides the development of policies, guidelines, procedures and protocols at organisation level. Within this region, A Health Strategy for the People of the North-East, 2003, which was developed based on national strategies, is the framework which will guide future policy development. Broad definitions, with a distinction between clinical and non-clinical applications, and the continuum associated with the process are outlined in Figure 2 on page 7.

Authors: North Eastern Health Board (NEHB) Description: t gives me great pleasure as Chairman of the North Eastern Health Board to inrroduce the 1997 Annual Report. 1 would like to thank sincerely all the members of the Board who attend to their duties in a most responsible manner. Their dedication to the work of this Board in the last five years can be seen throughout the region in many new services and facilities. Further developments are planned to come on stream in the years ahead. Many would argue that this has been one of the most successful periods in the history of the North Eastern Health Board. I welcome to the Board the new members who joined us last July. They succeed members who have given a full service to the Board and who leave after them a legacy of substantial progress. The transfer of Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in May, 1997 to the Board is a most welcome development. I take this opportunity to thank the Medical Missionaries of Mary for their foresight in proposing this transfer and facilitating the arrangements that were necessary. The outstanding conrribu tion of the Medical Missionaries of Mary to health services in this region is recognised by all. We will continue this long tradition in the knowledge that we have the full support of all the staff of the Lourdes Hospital and the Medical Missionaries of Mary. Dr Hugh Dolan. Chairman.

Authors: Co-operation and Working Together (CAWT); North Eastern Health Board (NEHB); North Western Health Board (NWHB); Southern Health and Social Services Board; Western Health and Social Services Board Description: Mr Paul Robinson, Director General of CAWT and Chief Executive Officer of the North Eastern Health Board Welcome to our Annual Report for 2002. I am especially pleased to present this report as it marks the year in which CAWT celebrated its 10th birthday. CAWT has come a long way in those years since that first gathering in Ballyconnell on 10th July 1992 and it was appropriate that we invited former Chief Executives and Chairpersons to attend the signing of the amended and updated Ballyconnell Agreement in the Slieve Russell Hotel (birthplace of CAWT) this year to mark that event. On that occasion as on many others I, as Director General, felt it appropriate to pay tribute to those people who had the commitment, courage and foresight to come together all those years ago. It was a bold step particularly in the political climate of that time, which we are all glad to recognise has changed considerably for the better. It has proved worthwhile and ten years on I believe we have made and are going to continue to make a real contribution to the health and social well being of the border population. This has been possible, of course, due to the commitment and dedication of staff involved in cross border working, particularly those within the sub-groups. Numerous strong alliances have been forged between the partner Boards and Trusts by people who already have extremely heavy work loads but who are committed to the aim of improving the health and social well being of the border population. In 2002 we launched one of the most important pieces of work that CAWT has ever produced. The CAWT Population Health Profile, details of which can be found later in this Annual Report, was the result of a collaborative effort by the four Public Health Departments. For the first time comprehensive health and social care information is available on the CAWT area Wed, 01 Jan 2003 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10147/345141 2003-01-01T00:00:00Z
