dc.description	This report is a starting point of an initiative which seeks to describe the health of a community care area's population, and how it compares nationally, and which in time will endeavour to recommend the health services that are needed, and assess that those provided are in fact producing the right results. It is the first major review of local public health for some years and as such must begin in a small way. Lack of good information is a problem, as are the systems we have of compiling data for useful interpretation. We begin by showing the distribution of health and disease across the population, as measured by health indicators and mortality statistics. Summaries of some local research reports carried out in recent years are also included which cover important issues and their implications for services. Infectious diseases and their prevention are an increasing source of public concern, so we have also included incidence statistics for some of the more important ones and preventive strategies, including surveillance systems, outbreak control and immunisation/vaccination.	en_US
