Goal 4: Improve the Health and Well-Being of the Population


Our key objectives are to...steps_to_health_4.JPG

  • Reduce the difference in health outcomes between Blackpool’s communities
    and others in the North West and UK
  • Encourage healthy lifestyles and emotional wellbeing for the whole population
  • Provide quality adult social care services to enable vulnerable adults and older people to live independently
  • Reduce teenage conception rates and improve sexual health

Our strategic Aim

By 2028, the health inequalities gap between Blackpool’s communities and others in the North West and UK will have been narrowed due to the wider determinants of health being addressed. As the quality of available housing stock has improved, more people are in employment and have better paid jobs and young people leave school with good educational achievement with high aspirations to continue into Further and Higher
education.

Everyone has a high standard of access to health care and social facilities and as a result there has been a big increase in the take up of preventative health care services such as cancer screening and immunisation.
