East LIN

The demographic shifts in East LIN present a pressing challenge - an aging population with implications for health, social care, and spending. The population reporting 'good' health in the 2011 Census reflects the influence of the older age structure, emphasizing the need for preventative measures. Initiatives like MECC (Make Every Contact Count) and focusing on smoking cessation, alcohol consumption, diet, weight, and exercise are vital to address this issue and improve overall well-being. This article discusses the urgency of taking action now to confront the future healthcare demands effectively.
