Decision details

This strategy sets out how partners in Coventry and Warwickshire will work together with our communities and businesses to protect the health of the local population. The focus is on communicable disease prevention and control, emergency planning, environmental hazards, screening and immunisation.  
Local Authorities have the statutory responsibilities for these health protection functions under the Health and Care Act (2012) and the 2013 regulations (Part 2, Section 8) and this strategy provides an overview of how this will be carried out by local partners, including Coventry City and Warwickshire County Councils, local NHS/Integrated Care Board, Health Security Agency and Environmental Health teams at district and borough councils. This work is overseen by Coventry and Warwickshire Health Protection Committee.
The Strategy has been jointly developed by these partners, who have a shared vision and agreed priorities, based on the evidence of needs across our communities in Coventry and Warwickshire.
