| Annotation | This Green Paper sets out for consultation proposals for concerted action by the Government in partnership with local organisations, to improve people's living conditions and health, and to narrow the health gap. A national contract is proposed for better health, under which the Government, local communities and individuals will join in partnership to improve the nation's health. Health authorities will have a key role in leading local alliances to develop Health Improvement Programmes, which will identify local needs and translate the national contract into local action. Local authorities will have a new duty to promote the economic, social and environmental well-being of their areas. Targets are set for improvements in four priority areas: heart disease and stroke; accidents; cancer; and mental health. The paper invites comments by 30 April 1998. |
