| 5. | Ashford Health and Wellbeing Priorities: |
| At a time when Smoking Prevalence is declining on average 1% per year Ashford has seen a reduction of 8.9% in the last year but is still 1.9% higher than the England average. The rate now stands at 17.4% (previously 26.3%). The One You shop in Ashford has been a huge success and now operates a dedicated weekly stop smoking clinic. There has also been considerable media campaigns that have raised awareness and consciousness about quitting smoking and there is a more accessible and successful pathway to refer pregnant women who smoke into stop smoking services. Some of the initiatives undertaken in 2016 are continuing into 2017 particularly in supporting Smokefree environments such as hospitals parks and school gates. The government has set a national target for reducing smoking prevalence to 12% by 2022 which means Ashford will need to reduce its prevalence by a further 5.4%. An additional target of reducing the inequalities of smoking is perhaps a harder challenge. Smoking still remains one of the main preventable health concerns and is the main theme of the Sustainability and Transformation Plan Prevention workstream which is now setting the framework for a range of health priorities. The proposals in the STP are commensurate with the 2017 Stop Smoking Action Plan for Ashford. | |

| Obesity is a serious and growing problem. Nearly 770000 people in Kent are estimated to be either overweight or obese. Morbid obesity (BMI 40+) reduces life expectancy by 8–10 years.The impact of this on the Kent health economy is estimated to be over £55m. This is contributed to by 44% of the incidence of diabetes 23% of heart disease and between 7%-41% of certain cancers. In 2011 the Department of Health published Healthy Lives: Healthy People: A call to action on obesity in England. Its ambition is to achieve:• a sustained downward trend in the level of excess weight in children by 2020• a downward trend in the level of excess weight averaged across all adults by 2020Although there has been a slight decline in Adults excess weight in Ashford (from 67.5% in 2012/14 to 66.6% in 2013/15) the data shows an increase in childhood obesity at a local and national level over the last three years. The range of programmes delivered by the Healthy Weight Task and Finish group have identified that access to healthy weight services and interventions is more successful when supported through a model and a brand that the public associate with. This is evident in the success of the healthy weight interventions delivered in or referred by the One You shop. | |
