(Report of Director of Planning, Housing and Environmental Health)
The report described the range of Health Improvement projects for which Kent County Council funding had been awarded for the current year and reviewed their progress. It was noted that the Borough Council’s annual health delivery programme was divided into three key elements involving Healthy Living Centre initiatives, healthy weight programmes and mental health, well-being and community-led programmes.
Particular reference was made to the challenges of addressing obesity in children and a number of suggestions for raising awareness were discussed.
Following consideration by the Communities and Health Advisory Board, the Cabinet Member for Communities, Health and Community Safety resolved that the delivery of the Health Improvement programmes as described in the report be endorsed.
