Purpose

To endorse the Director of Public Health
Annual Report

Content

Each year the Director of
Public Health produced an annual report on the health of the
population. This year the report focused on the start of life
– from preconception, through pregnancy and into early
childhood. It described the factors that support good health and
development during these crucial early stages of life and
identifies groups that were at risk of poorer health
outcomes.
 
The report was a call to action
for partners in Buckinghamshire. Partner organisations were asked
to reflect the recommendations to support parents and carers in
giving children the best start in life within their existing local
and multi-agency plans including the Health and Wellbeing Board
Strategy, smoking cessation, drug and alcohol
strategies.
 
RESOLVED

1)     
That the report be NOTED and
ENDORSED.

2)     
That the Council and partners respond to the
recommendations it contains by incorporating their actions into
existing plans.
