The world today has been characterised as one of 'Worry, Hurry & Curry' -racing about,
trying to' pack more in and feeling overwhelmed and stressed. While we are able to cope
with short periods of pressure and intense activity, our minds and bodies were not designed
for this type of hectic lifestyle. Left unchecked it will lead to physical health problems, -
(fatigue, stomach problems, colds & 'flu) or symptoms of stress (panic, anxiety,
depression) and have a negative effect on our social life (irritability at home or with
;workmates, absenteeism & drinking more).
We can all enjoy good mental health and improve our
quality of life, it might involve making a few simple
changes to your daily routine, but its well worth a try.

As part of its recent development the Tobacco Control Service, of the Health Promotion
Department in the South Western Area Health Board, has expanded. Alongside the
Senior Health Promotion Officer for Tobacco for the region, we currently have four
Health Promotion Officers for Smoking Cessation, one per community care area.
A reduction in tobacco use has been identified as the single most important health action
that countries can take for both health and economic gain. l Tobacco use is the single,
most important, preventable risk to human health.2 Apart from respiratory and
cardiovascular disease, it is responsible for approximately 35% of all cancers in our
region2 including 90% of all lung cancers.2
,3 Environmental tobacco smoke has been
accepted as a causal factor for coronary heart disease (CHD), as well as for lung cancer
and for respiratory diseases in children.4
A cigarette is the only consumer product which, when consumed as desired, kills half of
its regular customers. All of these deaths are preventable.
The National Health and Lifestyle Survey (Slan) reported in 1999, that 31% of adult
respondents were regular or occasional cigarette smokers. The prevalence of smoking
was slightly higher among males (32%) than females (31%) but when further categorised
by age, the youngest female age group exhibited a significantly higher rate of 40%.
The recently published report on the health of staff across the Eastern Regional Health
Authority5 identified the following:
• 90% of Staff felt that their employer should provide workplace smoking cessation
programmes.
• Over 50% of staff expressed a desire to quit smoking within the next year.
• 63% of staff found environmental tobacco smoke bothersome at work.

Over 360 General Practitioners provide primary health core services to individuals and
families in those areas. Many individuals visiting GPs experience mental health
difficulties ranging from mild and transitory distress to severe, enduring and disabling
mental illness.
In keeping with the paradigm shift towards community and primary core, underlined
by most of the new policy documents, the SWAHB supports a community core model
where the majority of people s health needs, including mental health, will be provided
within primary core . Moreover, res ponding to mental health difficulties and disorders
also requires a continuum of interventions that ore available with in both general
practice and specialised mental health settings.
In order to sustain this preferred model, it become evident that a comprehensive
examination of the current mental health service delivery in general practice was
required . Despite the key role of general practitioners in the provision of mental health
services in the Irish health core system historically, little is known about the extent and
types of mental health services provided in primary core. Until now most of the data
has been derived from research conducted in the UK. This lock of crucial information
prompted the SWAHB and the Eastern Regional Health Authority (ERHA) to conduct a
research project.
