Last Modified 30/04/2025 09:09:20 Share this page

The Department for Health and Social Care (DHSC) produce local authority health profiles providing an overview of health for each local authority in England. They pull together existing information and data on a range of indicators for local populations, highlighting issues that can affect health in each locality.

They are designed to help local government and health services understand their community's needs, so that they can work together to improve people's health and reduce health inequalities.

The online health profiles and small area Local Health data can be found at the links below:

The Public Health Outcomes Framework (PHOF) Healthy lives, healthy people: Improving outcomes and supporting transparency sets out a vision for public health, desired outcomes and indicators that will help us understand how well public health is being improved and protected.

The framework concentrates on two high-level outcomes to be achieved across the public health system, and groups further indicators into four ‘domains’ that cover the full spectrum of public health. The outcomes reflect a focus not only on how long people live, but on how well they live at all stages of life.

The Public Health Outcome Framework - indicators at a glance shows the current picture for Blackpool compared to England and any recent changes.
