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.
