Additional documents:
Minutes:
The Board considered a report of the Director of Public Health, on the
final version of the Halton Tobacco Control Plan (the Plan).
The Board was advised that the Plan recognised the scale of the
challenge to move towards a smoke-free Halton. It built upon the effective work
undertaken by local partners and had been written in collaboration with all
partners, to agree the vision, outcomes and actions. It was noted that the Plan
would be monitored by Halton Tobacco Alliance and the outcomes reported to the
Healthy Lifestyles Board, the Health and Wellbeing Board and other relevant
bodies.
Reason(s) for
Decision
The Halton Tobacco Control Plan
offered systematic plans to tackle smoking related harm in Halton in
response to both national and local requirements. The new Halton Tobacco Control Plan replaced the previous
expired version.
Alternative
Options Considered and Rejected
The alternative option of not refreshing the Halton Tobacco
Control Plan was rejected as this would mean that there were no systematic or
coordinated plans to reduce smoking related harm in Halton.
Implementation
Date
1 November 2017.
RESOLVED: That
1) the
contents of the report be noted; and
2) the Board supports the Strategy outcomes, objectives and actions.
