Public Health Report published
The new Director for Public Health in Oxfordshire has published his report on the state of health in the county and four threats he has idenitified as priorities for action.
This is the first Annual Report by a Director of Public Health for Oxfordshire jointly appointed by the NHS and the County Council. The recommendations are made for all organisations in Oxfordshire and for the public.
The aim is simple: to galvanise action on four main threats to the future health, wellbeing and prosperity of Oxfordshire
The four topics are:
-
An ageing population – the “demographic time bomb”
-
Breaking the cycle of deprivation of children and families
-
Preventing obesity: a major cause of chronic disease
-
Fighting infectious diseases
Progress made will be monitored in future reports.
