KEYNOTES.BULLET2: There are inequalities in health within South East Coast SHA. For example, the health of people in Hastings, Thanet and Brighton and Hove is generally worse than the national average. In contrast, the health of those from more affluent areas such as Epsom and Ewell, Wealden and Sevenoaks appears better than average.

KEYNOTES.BULLET3: Early deaths from cancer, heart disease and stroke are below the national average. While death rates from smoking are also lower than average, smoking is estimated to account for nearly 7,300 deaths per year.

KEYNOTES.BULLET4: Although rates of child poverty are low, there are over 129,000 children living in poverty. The percentage of children who are physically active and the proportion of mothers who smoke during pregnancy appear worse than average. However, the percentage of children classified as obese is lower than average and breast feeding initiation rates are high.

KEYNOTES.BULLET5: GCSE achievement is higher than the England average and teenage pregnancy rates are low.

KEYNOTES.BULLET6: Regional priorities are: improving health and well-being, addressing the underlying causes of ill health in a sustainable way and reducing health inequalities.

KEYNOTES.BULLET7: The South East England Health Strategy was launched in February 2008 and is available at www.gose.gov.uk
