Survey to Look at Barriers to Health on the Yorkshire Coast

A new study is looking at the Health Needs of the Yorkshire Coast.

The Coastal Health Needs Assessment is being carried out to help identify what measures could improve health outcomes for people living in coastal communities.

Public Health Officer - Ruth Dyble - says it's not just about looking at hospital and GP provision.

The health needs assessment will look at how areas like housing, transport and employment affect local people's health outcomes.

A survey being carried out by North Yorkshire Council Public Health Officers is aiming to gather information to inform policy decisions.

Ruth Dyble says it will look at a number of issues, including how to ensure younger people don't move away from the coast.

Public Health Officer, Helen Richardson, says the work dovetails with ongoing work on a Healthy Ageing Strategy which has involved talking to people in Filey about their health needs.

This is the Coast is committed to providing a daily local news service for the Yorkshire Coast. We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.

If you appreciate what This is the Coast does, and would like to help support our journalism, please consider supporting us on a monthly basis today.

A small contribution from all our readers would really help support independent journalism for the Yorkshire Coast.
