The current cost of living crisis means that policy makers need to redouble policy efforts to address health inequalities in Ireland, according to the organisers of a workshop aimed at strengthening the evidence base for reducing health inequalities in Ireland and identifying possible interventions to address health inequity.

The workshop, which takes place tomorrow (Tuesday), is organised by academics from RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences, Trinity College Dublin, and Queen’s University Belfast. It brings together policy makers, academics, public health, and health promotion experts, to review current evidence and to make recommendations for actions to reduce health inequalities across Ireland.
