Vision and Priorities

Vision

‘County Durham is a healthy place, where people live well for longer.’

This vision is underpinned by the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment.

Priorities

The Health and Wellbeing Board adopts a life course approach to its priorities, recognising the importance of mental health and wellbeing, physical activity and the social determinants of health cutting across all our priorities. These priorities are:

  • Starting Well
  • Living Well
  • Ageing Well

Objectives

Six objectives have been chosen across the strategic priorities, that are of importance given the impact they have on people’s health and of where we want to be in 2025:

  • improve healthy life expectancy and reduce the gap within County Durham and between County Durham and England
  • we will have a smoke free environment with over 95% of our residents not smoking and an ambition that pregnant women and mothers will not smoke
  • decrease overall levels of unemployment and specifically close the employment gap between the general population and those living with a long term physical or mental health condition, or with a learning disability
  • over 90% of our children aged four to five years, and 79% of children aged 10-11 years are of a healthy weight
  • improved mental health and wellbeing evidenced by increased self-reported wellbeing scores and reduced suicide rates
  • increase the number of organisations involved in Better Health at Work Award (to improve health and wellbeing interventions at work)
