Gateshead Health and Wellbeing Strategy

We aim to deliver the most positive outcomes for everyone, but we will focus our resources to help those in the most need - this will mean doing different things in different places.

We know we need to do more to address inequalities so we will prioritise the use of our collective resources to those communities in Gateshead that need us most. This is very different to how we have allocated resources in the past based on equality (everyone getting the same).

1. Give every child the best start at life
2. Enable all children, young people and adults to maximise their capabilities and have control over their lives
3. Create the conditions for fair employment and good work for all
4. Ensure a healthy standard of living for all
5. Create and develop sustainable place and communities
6. Strengthen the role and impact of ill health prevention
7. Tackle racism, discrimination and their outcomes
8. Pursue environmental sustainability and health equity together
