Reasons for decision

It is a mandatory requirement that key elements of this service are commissioned from the Public Health Grant. There is a clearly identified need within Haringey for these services to improve health outcomes for local people, including tackling health inequalities that exist in particular groups and local areas. The programme contributes to the prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) which is associated to preventable risk factors such as smoking, obesity, physical inactivity, excess alcohol consumption and low level of NHS health check uptake and hence people live with undetected conditions such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol. The programme also includes an extensive, specialist smoking cessation service for pregnant women. (Further detail  ...  view the full minutes text for item 14
