October saw the launch of a national health literacy campaign called Crystal Clear.
The campaign was launched following the results of surveys which indicated that over 50% of the Irish population are affected by literacy difficulties. Patients are having difficulty reading health information and this literacy issue appears to be impacting on their health. The Crystal Clear campaign is set to address this concern.
