How is Solihull Doing? Health Inequalities
| Posted on February 25, 2010 at 1:00 PM |
An independent assessment by six inspectorates reports on how well local public services are tackling the major issues in Solihull. Solihull has identified six priority areas:-
- Building healthier communities
- Building safer communities
- Building stronger communities
- Building more prosperous communities
- An equal chance for children and young people
- Narrowing Solihull's Gap in Inequalities
The inspectors did not identify any green flag areas where they felt that there was exceptional or innovative performance that others could learn from, but neither did they identify any red flag areas which gave them any significant concerns.
There were however, some informative pieces of information within the reports. Generally the health of people in Solihull is good and improving with an average life expectancy of 83.8 years for women and 78.4 years for me. However, there is a wide difference between life expectancy in the more affluent areas in the South of Solihull and the more deprived areas in the North with men in the south living on average 8.3 years longer than men in the north, and women in the south living on average 6.5 years longer than those from the North.
