The report touches on several areas, including demographics, population health, hospital and primary care, employment and expenditure and highlights the significant achievements that Ireland has made for key health outcomes in the past decade.

Inequalities in health are closely linked with wider social determinants including living and working conditions, issues of service access, and cultural and physical environments. Taken together with an ageing population, adverse trends, if not addressed now, will lead to an unhealthy and costly future. Cigarette consumption has decreased since 2000, as shown in Figure 2.12.
