Health impact assessment
Health Impact Assessment (HIA) is part of the mandatory ‘Impact Assessment’ required by Government for all relevant policies for developing better, evidenced-based policy by careful consideration of the impact on the health of the population. HIA can identify ‘win-wins’ across policy areas. For example, green space and green infrastructure improve mental and physical health and have been shown to reduce health inequalities.
