Following publication of the Men's Health Policy (2008-2013), an independent report was commissioned by the HSE under Peter Baker to review the National Policy. Subsequent to this the HSE has developed and completed an Action Plan. The HSE has established a Group under the Health and Wellbeing Programme and is currently progressing its implementation.
