Issue - meetings

The Board considered a report that sought formal approval of the Tobacco Strategy and Action Plan.

Councillor Bevan, Cabinet Member for Housing, noted that during the NSTHI visit he had made a commitment that the Housing Service would help with work with respect to smoking cessation, by providing information on the number of males who smoked in the Borough in social housing. At present a pilot was being undertaken in the Tottenham area to see how affect this means of targeting people was in reducing smoking. If this was successful options for rolling out the initiative across the Borough would be considered.

RESOLVED:

1. That the Tobacco Control Strategy and Action Plan be approved.

2. That six monthly monitoring reports would be received from the Tobacco Control Alliance.
