Emerging Issues

 

  • The Derwentside Partnership has agreed that a strategy to address health inequalities in Derwentside is needed and should be produced. This will include the development of information on health inequalities within Derwentside in order to identify local priorities and targets, and to monitor progress in reducing local health inequalities. The strategy will need to address such emerging issues as tobacco control and obesity.

 

  • The introduction of Children’s Centres will mean that additional wards will benefit from Sure Start models of working. However, this also means that it will be even more important for organisations to work in partnership to ensure this way of working becomes a core activity. A need to increase resources to develop community capacity to engage in the decision making processes.
