Multimedia public education campaigns are carried out by the health promotion unit of my Department on an ongoing basis in relation to smoking, diet and exercise, all of which are lifestyle factors associated with coronary heart disease.
The question of running a specific cardiovascular health campaign will be considered in the context of the implementation of the many recommendations contained in the report, Building Healthier Hearts.
