To consider the Annual Report of the Director of Public Health (to be tabled at the meeting).
This will be the first Annual Report since Public Health became part of the Council as a result of the changes brought about by the Health and Social Care Act 2012. The Committee is asked to note the report and submit comments to the Director of Public Health.
Minutes:
Dr Heather Grimbaldeston, Director of Public Health, attended the meeting to publish her independent Annual Report on Public Health. Dr Grimbaldeston presented a summary of the report which focused on premature death rates and how they could be reduced, particularly in relations to the four main killers in Cheshire East: Cancer; Heart disease and stroke; Lung disease; and Liver disease. As the report had been circulated at the meeting the Committee agreed to receive the report at this stage and consider it further at the next meeting.
RESOLVED:
(a) That the report be received and noted.
(b) That the report be examined by the Committee in detail at the next meeting.
