Description
Summary:This paper describes the development of the Army Health Policy (AHP), which is a key component of the Army Human Resources Strategy (AHRS). The work on the AHP provided an opportunity for a fundamental review of the delivery of health support to the Army. The AHP will provide the strategic framework by which the Army will ensure the health of its workforce and, where appropriate, their dependants. The methodology used for this work may be a useful model for the development of a health policy for occupational populations.
