Health and Wellbeing Thematic Group

The Health & Wellbeing thematic group is made up of individuals and organisations who feel they can make a contribution to improving the health of the population of West Lancashire.

 

Hosted jointly by NHS Central Lancashire and West Lancashire Borough Council, this group meets every other month to work on a number of projects which aim to improve health and tackle the gap that exists in health outcomes between those who live in the poorest parts of the district and those who live in the more affluent areas.
