Excess weight
In 2015/16, there was a large increase in excess weight among year 6 pupils (10-11 year olds) with 37.5% overweight/obese (vs 35.4% in 2014/15). This is mainly driven by an increase in obese children: 23.1% of children are obese, up from 21.1% in 2014/15. Among 4-5 year olds 22.4% are overweight/obese in 2016/17; same as in 2015/16. A new childhood obesity alliance has being established, and a reduction in childhood obesity is a key outcome of the procurement of a family health and lifestyle service to become operational in 2018.
Drugs and alcohol
2,000 regular opiate/crack cocaine users 9.2 per 1,000 vs 8.2 nationally
13,000 high risk drinkers
50+ units per week (males)
35+ units per week (females)
People facing multiple complex needs (MCN)
A multi-agency multiple complex needs board has been set up to address issues faced by people who experience several problems at the same time; have ineffective contact with services; and live chaotic lives, such as a combination of mental ill health, substance misuse, violence, sexual abuse and adverse childhood experiences.
Making every contact count
Reducing health inequalities is about services working more effectively together. With making every contact count, partners check individuals’ general wellbeing, and alert other partners when additional needs are identified. An example is the fire service conducting safe and well checks during home visits, alerting partners to people’s additional needs.
