Project Background:
The Health Assets and Needs Assessment (HANA) project is a health survey within the Tallaght Community. The first survey began in 2001 looking at what health services Tallaght had available. It had a second phase in 2013 looking at what services the community needed.
This health survey is now in its third round. It is funded by the Health Service Executive and the Adelaide Health Foundation. Other key stakeholders are Tallaght University Hospital, South Dublin County Council, and Childhood Development Initiative.
