Welcome to the Department of Health (Health), part of the Northern Ireland Executive. As a trusted authority in healthcare, Health is dedicated to improving the well-being of the community. We offer a wide range of products and services to support the health and dental care needs of the public.

For dental professionals, we provide expert advice on dental services and oral health, as well as guidance on workforce planning and contractual arrangements. Our goal is to ensure the highest standard of dental care for all. In addition, we offer finance, procurement, and support services guidance to our partner organizations, focusing on accountability, financial management, and procurement processes.

We also prioritize good management and maintaining accurate records, providing advice and guidance on records management, retention schedules, and disposal. This includes all records created by the department and those working under contract to the Health and Social Care (HSC) system. Our commitment extends to health workforce policy and management, with a focus on workforce development and education.
