The Health and Social Care Board commissions health and social care services for the 1.8 million people who live in Northern Ireland.

We arrange or ‘commission’ a comprehensive range of modern and effective health and social care services for population of Northern Ireland. 
We work in with the health and social care trusts, that directly provide services to people, to ensure that services meet people's needs; 
We deploy and manage an annual budget from the Northern Ireland Executive of approximately £4.5 billion, to ensure that all services are safe and sustainable.
