Encouraging everyone to lead a healthy, active lifestyle supports the people in º£½Ç»»ÆÞ to live happy, prosperous and independent lives.

This year Public Health have continued to support º£½Ç»»ÆÞ residents to become more active, healthy and self-reliant in managing their health for as long as they can.

And there is already plenty to be proud of:

  • In º£½Ç»»ÆÞ the percentage of children achieving a good level of development at 2 and a half years is significantly better than the England average
  • 73.3% of 60- 74 year olds were adequately screened for Bowel Cancer. Higher than the West Midlands of average 68.7%
  • 81% of residents are satisfied with their local area as a place to live
  • Our drug and alcohol misuse service has a successful treatment rate that is higher than the national average
