Poverty reduction • 46% of those living in deprived areas who have children aged 5-16 are eligible for free school meals (FSM) - reliable proxy for poverty. • 6,632 children eligible for FSMs fail to take up - miss out on £390 per child per year. • FSM uptake now incorporated into Child Poverty Strategy. • Richmond Hill pilot. • 17 frontline staff trained to deliver on school food agenda. • Healthy School Challenge – new activity around school meals developed. • Councillor engagement.
Alcohol - in Leeds • Alcohol causes an average 10.7 months of life lost compared with 5.1 in West Oxfordshire (Males). • In 2008/09 in Leeds approximately 12,800 alcohol – related hospital admissions,15% up from previous year. • Alcohol related crime - in 2010, across Leeds, of 4,129 assaults, 2276 involved alcohol. • 2007/8 - adults in Leeds who engage in harmful, hazardous and binge drinking significantly worse than the England and Yorkshire & Humber average.
Improve multi agency approaches to supporting families with complex needs (new for 2011) • Increasing household income as a single measure, will not make a big difference to children’s life. • Wider home and family environment, early years and education, health and support and advice around training and work. • Financial drivers of poverty - unemployment low paid/insecure employment, transport, skill levels and health status. • Lack of parenting resources - parenting skills, chaos in the home, alcohol and substance use and domestic violence. • Poor access to services and poor quality of housing.
Where are we now? • Some joining up (health and social care). • Acknowledgement of shared agenda. • Importance of locality working accepted. • GP Consortia value locality perspective. • Still some way to go to embed locality commissioning but………. • The future is exciting!!!
