New report highlights county authorities’ innovative work in public health

A new report released today from the County Councils Network (CCN) showcases how county authorities stepped up to the national effort during the Coronavirus pandemic, as well as the innovative public health initiatives they are rolling out locally to improve the health and wellbeing of their residents.

This month’s County Spotlight document focuses on public health, reflecting on the brilliant work from the last two years but also looking towards the future and how counties are attempting to improve health outcomes in their areas, particularly emerging issues such as mental health.
