Area: Tameside MCD

KEYNOTES: The health of people in Tameside is generally worse than the England average, including GCSE achievement, adults who smoke (an estimate) and drug misuse. A few indicators are similar to the national average, such as physically active adults and a few are better than average, including road injuries and deaths.
There are inequalities in Tameside by deprivation, gender and ethnicity. For example, men in the least deprived areas can expect to live nearly seven years longer than men from the most deprived areas, and for women the difference is eight and a half years.
Over the last ten years there has been a decrease in the early death rate from heart disease and stroke. However, the rate is the eighth worst in England.
The health of children and young people is generally worse than the England average, including smoking in pregnancy and teenage pregnancy.
The Tameside Local Area Agreement has prioritised a range of health issues over the next three years: increasing physical activity, reducing alcohol misuse, tackling childhood obesity, reducing teenage conceptions, reducing premature deaths for men and women with a particular focus on circulatory disease and narrowing the internal gap in life expectancy, reducing smoking, improving the emotional health of children and increasing breast feeding.
The Tameside and Glossop Annual Public Health Report provides further detail on the health of this area and is available at www.tamesideandglossop.nhs.uk
