Director of Public Health Health Protection Assurance Report

The Director of Public Health (DPH) has a statutory responsibility for the strategic leadership of health protection for North Tyneside. The DPH, on behalf of the Council, should be assured that the arrangements to protect the health of their local communities are robust and are implemented appropriately. Guidance suggests that, through their DPH, Health and Wellbeing Boards will wish to be assured that acute and longer-term health protection arrangements properly meet the health needs of the local population. Accordingly, the purpose of this report is to inform the Health and Wellbeing Board about arrangements and outcomes for health protection in North Tyneside.

The data presented in this report is based upon the most recent or reported data available. Due to different reporting cycles, current data is reported quarterly, annually, or periodically.
