Public Health Strategy for Oxfordshire
Oxfordshire Partnership supports the launch of the new public health strategy for Oxfordshire 2007-12.
The new Public Health Strategy is the product of extensive work through the Healthier Communities and Older People Programme Board of the LAA and has been discussed by all the major partnerships in the County and endorsed by the Oxfordshire Partnership Steering Group.
The strategy is addressed to partnerships and a range of organisations across sectors. Its aim is to set out a range of actions that will need to be implemented in order to fulfil the strategic aims:
- To improve overall life expectancy in all parts of Oxfordshire by 1 year by 2012
- To tackle health inequalities and so reduce the gap in all-age, all-cause mortality rates by 10% by 2012 between the top 20% and bottom 20%
- To "add life to years" by improving health and well-being as measured by a range of specific indicators.
These actions will be embedded in a range of plans and implemented across partnerships and organisations, including district strategic partnerships.
