Public Health Annual Report​

Since 1988 Directors of Public Health (DPH) have been tasked with preparing annual reports - an independent assessment of the health of local populations. The annual report is the DPH’s professional statement about the health of local communities, based on sound evidence and interpreted objectively.

The annual report is an important vehicle by which a DPH can identify key issues, flag problems, report progress and, thereby, serve their local populations. It will also be a key resource to inform local inter-agency action. The annual report remains a key means by which the DPH is accountable to the population they serve.

Each report focusses on a topic area, to highlight a public health issue and work being done across the borough.
