‘We want people to live well, not just live longer’: Northamptonshire director of public health’s mission “The county health profile isn’t where I would want it to be” says Northamptonshire’s director of public health Lucy Wightman.
“There are lots of areas where we perform significantly worse than the England average.
“We have road safety issues; we have got above average self harm hospital admissions; alcohol related hospital admissions; excess weight in adults and children can be a challenge, smoking status at the time of delivery, GCSE attainment and violent crime at county level are all a challenge. Those are areas where we are trying to prioritise our spend going forward.” Northampton Chronicle and Echo
