Conclusions and recommendations
The Health Protection Arrangements across North Tyneside are multiagency. This report alongside an overview of the meeting and reporting structures, aims to provide the necessary assurance that the local health protection system is robust and equipped to both prevent and suitably react to future challenges.
An assessment of the current health protection arrangements for North Tyneside has identified that these are working well to protect the population. However, this report has identified several areas where more could be done particularly around uptake of particular screening and immunisation programmes especially given the current health inequalities present.
