I have reviewed the report referred to by the Deputy.
A settings approach to health promotion is internationally recognised, and the Health Promotion Strategy 2000-2005 identifies the workplace as an important setting for the development of health promotion programmes.
In recognition of the importance of the workplace setting, the health promotion unit of my Department has supported the appointment of regional workplace co-ordinators in the former health boards. Those co-ordinators are building alliances with all stakeholders to ensure that workplace health promotion programmes are developed and sustained.
The health promotion unit has also provided direct grant aid to the Construction Employees' Health Trust in support of many of the activities of that organisation.
