The following paragraphs give a review of the principal activities
undertaken during the current year.
Health Education Programme to Local Organisations
As in past years, the Health Education Service took positive
action in circulating all local organisations with offers of health
education facilities which take the form of film shows, talks or
combined features, together with displays at local public events.
Offers are readily accepted and they provide useful avenues for
the dissemination of information and views on a wide variety of
subjects.
Topics range from services provided by the whole department to
sessions by professionals on their own particular specialities, or
more specifically, health education themes such as smoking and
health, obesity, personal hygiene, etc. Appropriate leaflets are
distributed.
Groups taking advantage of the facilities offered include all ages
and shades of opinion. Intrinsic in such sessions is the opportunity
for "feed-back" of views by residents on services provided by the
department and indeed by the whole Council.
