About:
At its first meeting on 28 June 2017, the Programme Implementation Board agreed to establish four working sub groups reflecting the four priority areas for actions. Each sub group meets monthly to advance their work, as set out in the Mulvey Report, and more recently, within the NEIC Strategic Action Plan 2020 - 2022. Each group is chaired by an individual with responsibility towards achieving these actions. All sub-groups have representation from Government bodies and both the community and business sector.
It was agreed in 2018 to establish a fifth subgroup to focus on substance use and misuse in the NEIC and to enhance the services provided under this remit. In December 2019 a sixth subgroup was added, with a responsibility towards the alignment of services within the area.
