Our Priorities
The Health Commission has selected as its focus some key areas that are most likely to harm the health of its 2.5 million citizens
These are:
• Alcohol
• Cancer
• Coronary Heart Disease
• Health Inequalities
• Unhealthy Weight
• Mental ill-health
• Tobacco
The Commission is focusing on these areas of work, whilst also tackling wider cross-cutting areas that are having a direct effect on the quality of health, including worklessness, air quality and fuel poverty.
A lot of excellent work is already underway across Greater Manchester, and work on the key areas most likely to harm citizen’s health is already underway. The Commission’s work reflects the drive and focus for a healthier Greater Manchester with improved health,well-being and reduced inequalities.
