This year's annual report, titled 'Bridging the Health Gap', is about improving and managing health and social inequalities through continued community and partnership working. In Coventry, when comparing people in the highest and lowest socioeconomic groups, there is a considerable difference between their gaps in healthy life expectancy and life expectancy.
The report focuses on prevention and early intervention in a wide range of areas to address multiple health inequalities. This includes the kind of life a person is born into and where they live; the environment they grow up in; their access to education and employment chances; as well as lifestyle choices such as smoking, drinking, diet and physical activity.
Some recommendations from the annual report are:
-
To review and revise the Marmot Action Plan, considering how a 'One Coventry' approach can help to embed partnership working and promote ownership of initiatives throughout organisations and community groups;
-
To recognise and respond to barriers and challenges which may prevent people in some groups within Coventry from engaging with services that promote healthy lifestyles;
-
For Council and partners to embed an integrated early help offer which improves life chances for the more vulnerable families;
-
To maximise the opportunities available with the NHS as a key partner; and
-
To evaluate the impact of the 'Year of Wellbeing' and examine ways in which the Health and Wellbeing partnerships have raised the profile of health and wellbeing and maximise the legacy that can be achieved.

The information on retail unit vacancies should be put in context of the proposed significant redevelopment of ‘City Centre South’, which limits the potential to offer retailers long-term lets. In summary, there were 48 void units, four of which were new in Q3. Seven previous voids were newly occupied in this quarter. Compared to this time last year, Q3 2019 has seven fewer voids.
