Choosing good health - together
Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea Public Health and
Well-Being Strategy 2007 - 2012
Creating a healthy sustainable community
Health in the borough is good. We have the highest life
expectancy of any borough in England and Wales. However there are
differences between the most disadvantaged people and communities
and the rest of the population. There is a difference in life
expectancy of ten years, and a three-fold difference in
age-adjusted limiting long-term illness, between the healthiest and
unhealthiest wards.
This strategy sets its sights on integrating strategies and
actions to meet the diverse needs of local communities now and in
the future. It seeks to contribute to a high quality of life and to
provide opportunity and choice by enhancing the environment,
promoting social cohesion and inclusion as well as strengthening
economic prosperity. In short, to create a healthy sustainable
community.
