Introduction
The local authority health profiles provide an overview of health for each local authority in England. They pull together existing information and data on a range of indicators for local populations, highlighting issues that can affect health in each locality.
The aim of the profile is to help local government and health services make plans to improve the health of their local population and reduce health inequalities.
The 'Health profile for England' focuses on national health trends, while Local Health provides health information for small areas within local authorities, enabling users to explore differences at a more local level.
Revisions to the content of the health profiles are listed in the health profiles revisions log (Excel).
Indicators are sourced from the Public Health Outcomes Framework (PHOF) unless otherwise stated.
