Population Health, Chronic illness Framework. July 2008

Chronic illness is defined as long term conditions which can be treated but not cured.  These conditions include diabetes, heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary illness, dementia and mental health problems, asthma, musculoskeletal diseases, and a range of disabling neurological conditions, many of which are preventable.

The purpose of the framework is to identify the way forward so as to prevent chronic illness where possible and to detect, minimise and manage the impact of chronic illness on individuals and the population.
