1. Helping people to live longer and more healthy lives by reducing preventable deaths and the burden of ill health associated with smoking, high blood pressure, obesity, poor diet, poor mental health, insufficient exercise, and alcohol

2. Reducing the burden of disease and disability in life by focusing on preventing and recovering from the conditions with the greatest impact, including dementia, anxiety, depression and drug dependency

3. Protecting the country from infectious diseases and environmental hazards, including the growing problem of infections that resist treatment with antibiotics

4. Supporting families to give children and young people the best start in life, through working with health visiting and school nursing, family nurse partnerships and the Troubled Families programme

Reducing Dependency and Demand

• Taking a Greater Manchester-wide approach which clearly adds value to reform at district level, particularly to those issues identified in our Community Budget proposals to reduce current and future dependency; early years, troubled families and transforming justice.

• Reform of the health and social care system based on significantly improving outcomes from specialist acute services and delivering a substantial reduction in unplanned admissions to hospital and other care institutions

• Deployment of common tools and techniques to support cross public service leadership at scale, including cost benefit analysis, investment agreements and data sharing

12

• Substance misuse has been identified as a significant issue for the c 5,000 Working Well cohort.

• PHE is currently in the process of setting up a data sharing protocol with the Working Well programme that will allow for the programme to monitor the effectiveness of its substance misuse referrals including; the volume of Working Well substance misuse treatment starts, waiting times and treatment outcomes.

• Councils now have considerable power to influence decisions made on alcohol licensing, but the process can be difficult and resource intensive.

• Evidence suggests that limiting availability through times of sale and outlet density can have a positive impact on levels of harm particularly violence and disorder.

• PHE and partners across GM are working to produce a toolkit to support LAs in being more active in their action on alcohol control through licensing, through improved intelligence, promoting a more consistent approach that leads to better enforcement.

A Greater Manchester Alcohol Strategy

14

• Working with Greater Manchester Public Health Network to scale up the use of persuasive digital technologies within alcohol treatment services across GM.

• Following a successful trial in Bolton the aim of this project is to utilise a software/SMS text system that better engages clients in treatment and apply it to a cohort of clients that includes Working Well and to those seeking to sustain their employment.

• Several Local Authorities have highlighted poor oral health of very young children as a priority.

• The PHE Dental Health team is coordinating oral health needs assessments and evidence on effective action to all 10 LAs.

• Working directly with Oldham on a focussed project of action with local partners, with plans to share this approach with other LAs in Greater Manchester with the most severe dental disease levels.

• Health checks being delivered in primary dental care settings: innovative approach to improve take-up in hard to reach groups in Manchester and Salford, facilitated by PHE Health Improvement Manager and Consultant in Dental Public Health
