The figure illustrates Health Canada's approved Departmental Results Framework and Program Inventory for 2024-25.

The Departmental Results Framework groups Health Canada's Core Responsibilities into two categories, all supported by Internal Services. These categories are (1) Health Care Systems and (2) Health Protection and Promotion, each of which are delivered through multiple programs in the Program Inventory. Each core responsibility has departmental results and several indicators associated with it.
