Agenda item

The Cabinet considered a report of the Director of Public Health which  provided an update on health protection assurance arrangements in County Durham (for copy see file of minutes).

Members were pleased to see the increased uptake in flu vaccinations across all cohorts and that County Durham’s performance in the childhood immunisation programmes generally exceed national averages.  Councillor Gunn welcomed the fact that the in-house team of Infection Prevention and Control nurses had been extended to schools for children with special educational needs. 

Resolved:

That the recommendations in the report be approved.
