That the publication of the Public Health Annual Report 2018 2019 be endorsed.

Minutes:

In the absence of Councillor Jasbir Jaspal, Councillor Ian Brookfield presented the Public Health Annual Report 2018-2019 for endorsement. John Denley, Director of Public Health, outlined the key points from the report. The Annual Report 2018-2019 built on the Vision for Public Health 2030 and detailed the Council’s commitment to improve the factors that influenced healthy life expectancy at a population level. The aim was to address the variation in life expectancy across the City, and it was recognised that there were many different areas that impacted on this. Notable improvements over the period included work on flu vaccinations in children, sexual health services, rough sleepers and suicide rates. It was noted that there were no quick fixes to challenge many of the long-standing issues but that the Council was moving in the right direction. The Cabinet recorded their thanks to the Public Health team and the partners involved for their work.

 

Resolved:

That the publication of the Public Health Annual Report 2018 2019 be endorsed.
