Directors of Public Health have a statutory requirement to write an independent annual report on the health of their population, to raise awareness and understanding of local health issues, highlight areas of specific concern and make recommendations for change. The content and structure of the report is decided locally.
The latest report:
covers the increasing challenges of household food insecurity and its damaging consequences
describes how not having enough to eat impacts on people’s lives
recognises the efforts of the many people and organisations in B&NES working to reduce and prevent food insecurity, and offering support to those affected
makes further recommendations for strengthening household food insecurity work
