How healthy are Thanet people?

What information is there about the health of people in Thanet?

Information from the health services is published through a network of Public Health Observatories linking all parts of the country. The publications include a set of annual health profiles for every Local Authority district in England, including Thanet.

 

Health profiles show how health varies between districts, and are used to make statements about health inequality – the difference in health between different areas.  In Kent, the Kent & Medway Public Health Observatory (KMPHO) regularly publishes information on health concerns in Kent districts.

 

Why is information on health inequality important to Thanet District Council?

Information on health inequality is important to the Council because as well as affecting the well-being of people, health problems affect level and types of demand for Council services such as housing.
