Encouraging everyone to lead a healthy, active lifestyle supports the people in »Æ¹ÏÊÓÆµ to live happy, prosperous and independent lives.

This year Public Health have continued to support »Æ¹ÏÊÓÆµ 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:

  • 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
