Joint Health Improvement Plan's vision for a healthier city
Health and wellbeing are fundamental to quality of life.
Improving health and addressing health inequality require attention from all services and sectors, including the NHS, local authority, charities, voluntary organisations and private sector.
This makes health a major issue for community planning.
The Joint Health Improvement Plan (JHIP) identifies actions which city partners will take to help people in Edinburgh sustain and improve their health and wellbeing, and reduce health inequality in the city.
Our vision for a healthier city is that by 2011, Edinburgh will show steady improvement in the health and wellbeing of its people, and a reduction in the health inequalities experienced by its disadvantaged communities.
