The 2009 health profiles have been released. Providing a snapshot of health at county or local authority level, they help commissioners and providers to target their activity where it's most needed. Regional and SHA level profiles will be available later in the year. Key changes highlighted by Public Health Minister Gillian Merron include reduction in rates of early death from cancer, heart disease and stroke, as well as increases in general life expectancy and of children's access to PE in state schools.
