| Healthy Alliance The Healthy Alliance subgroup works towards achieving its relevant section of the Sustainable Community Strategy: There will be a good range of high quality, easily accessible health services. Local health providers, working with the community and agencies, will improve health through preventative measures. Life expectancy will have increased and there will be a reduction in heart and respiratory disease, strokes, cancer and infant mortality. There will be a reduction in low birth weights, obesity (for children and adults), smoking, teenage pregnancies and improvements in dental health (in particular amongst five year olds). A more detailed description of the role of the Healthy Alliance can be found in the Partnership Agreement. - Membership
