The Department does not collect this data. However, our understanding from the Public Health Observatories (PHOs) is that they frequently input into local and regional health impact assessments (HIAs) as well as leading on them.
All PHOs are involved in HIA support and training activity to varying degrees.
PHOs utilise the HIA expertise that exists across their network in order to manage the provision of HIA training and support for local/regional colleagues. Through their network, PHOs are able to offer programmes around the country which contribute to educating colleagues about HIA at a variety of levels.
