Joint Health Improvement Plan 2006 - 2008

It is well know that Inverclyde has one of the poorest health records in Scotland, the UK and Europe. If we are to reverse the relative decline in health status compared to the rest of Scotland, the UK and Europe, a step change is needed in the rate at which health improves.

This plan has been developed in partnership and commissioned by Inverclyde Alliance (Health & Wellbeing Strategy Group) to address the causes of this poor health record.
