Health improvement. While healthy lifestyle choices can delay the onset of diseases such as cancer, heart disease and stroke, and reduce preventable accidents, healthier lives and wellbeing can be fostered through public services which: encourage regional prosperity and employability; promote healthy working environments; ensure access to public and active transport and public services generally; support social capital and social inclusion and encourage enjoyment of the outdoors. Enjoyment of the outdoors is of course immediately equitable in that it is a free resource, however, issues such as availability of public transport can impact on the accessibility of it.
Health improvement. North Ayrshire is an area with large differences between the health of people living in the most disadvantaged and most affluent areas. These include differences in life expectancy and death from heart disease. The Council has a lead role in improving the health and well being of the people of North Ayrshire. We do so with our key partners – North Ayrshire Leisure and the Community Health Partnership – and in other ways, such as through our Health Promoting Schools. As a health improvement organisation, we will ensure that our own employees have access to healthy lifestyle choices.
