The Health Forum Series includes 6 forums throughout 2010, in various counties across Ireland, the third of which will be held in Galway on Tuesday 1st June 2010.

The forums are an expansion of the Health Debate series that ran across the country throughout 2009 and will present further opportunity for the general public to hear key opinion leaders
discuss issues relating to health. It is envisaged the forums will stimulate interest in, and discussion on, various aspects of health and social issues in Ireland.

A wide range of stakeholder organisations are being invited to attend, along with members of the general public. All of the forums are open to the general public, free of charge, through
advance registration.
