To consider a report of the Director of Public Health and the Service Director (Strategy & Commissioning)

(Note: the Chair was of the opinion that this item, although not included on the agenda, should be considered as a matter of urgency in accordance with Section100B(4)(b) of the Local Government Act 1972 to allow the matter to be considered promptly and in conjunction with the Executive Response to the Director of Public Health’s Annual Report)

The Deputy Director of Public Health submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) setting out a commitment from the Council and its partners to improving the health of the public in Stockport. The Promise was divided into a number of themes, each with a number of specific commitments.

Councillors welcomed the commitments made by the Council and partners, and suggested that because of the broad range of areas covered consideration be given to including this on the agenda for the Adult Social Care & Housing and the Children & Young People scrutiny committees.

RESOLVED – (1) That the Stockport Health Promise be welcomed.

(2) That the Director of Public Health be requested to provide an update on the activity undertaken as part of the Promise in conjunction with the requested update on the recommendations of the Public Health Annual Report.
