Information:
The Director of Public
Health annual report is a statutory independent requirement and has
been informed this year by interviews and engagement with a
diversity of women in Torbay. Insights have been gathered through
community groups and organisations, commissioned services and peer
and grass-roots networks as well as individuals living in
Torbay.
Focusing on
women’s health opens further opportunities to centre our
understanding of the causes, opportunities, and solutions for
improving outcomes for all residents.
