20.1      RESOLVED: That the report be noted.

20.1      The Acting Director for Public Health introduced the Annual Report and gave a short presentation on the report.  He noted that the report entitled, ‘Living well in a healthy city’ focussed on prevention and covered the period 2016/17.

20.2      Members of the Board welcomed the report and stated that it was informative and encouraged people to improve their lifestyle and to take all aspects of life into account.  There was still a need to do better and areas of concern such as the level of young people trying cannabis and alcohol misuse in the city.  However, overall the report was excellent and should be promoted as widely as possible and the key messages repeated with the option to take elements of the report to target audiences.

20.3      The Chair thanked the Assistant Director of Public Health for the report and moved that it be noted.
