Advocacy

The ISCPHM is committed to advocating for improved health services and fair access to care, particularly for under-served and vulnerable populations.

Through our advocacy work, we highlight issues that impact communities, engage with stakeholders, and provide evidence-based perspectives to support meaningful change. This page shares some of our recent advocacy statements and initiatives, reflecting our ongoing efforts to strengthen community and public health across Ireland.

Below you can access a copy of our formal letter to Minister Norma Foley, prepared by the ISCPHM Council (2024–2025). This document outlines the urgent need to address long waiting lists for children’s disability and community services, highlights the impact of delays on children and families, and sets out both short- and long-term recommendations for action.
