Agenda item

The Committee considered a report of the Director of Transformation and Partnerships that presented progress against the Council’s corporate performance framework for the Altogether Healthier priority theme for the second quarter of the 2017/18 financial year (for copy of report, see file of minutes).

The Corporate Scrutiny and Performance Manager presented the report and highlighted that smoking cessation continued to increase, adult social care and rehabilitation was improving, breastfeeding prevalence remained a challenge and mothers smoking at the time of delivery had also increased.  There was no change in the figures for the delayed transfer of care, County Durham had higher than the national average number of suicides although there had been a reduction.  Under 18 conceptions continued to reduce and a new provider for drug and alcohol treatment would be launched from February 2018.

Resolved:

That the report be received.
