NWPHO worked with a multi-partner network including CSIP NW, Greater Manchester Suicide Prevention Group, Government Office North West, Samaritans, the Highways Agency and the Fire and Rescue Service, among others, to achieve this. The full results of the analysis are contained in a confidential report, in which locations of suicides are identified.

   Health and Lifestyles in the North West  The North West regional lifestyle survey – the largest ever survey in the region – took place between June and December 2007. The region’s residents were asked about their general health, height and weight, diet and nutrition, physical activity, alcohol consumption, smoking habits and caring responsibilities. Each section in this report details the policy and background to the topic area, existing available comparators at England and North West levels, and the findings of the regional survey broken down by sex, age, deprivation and ethnic grouping. Survey results will enable practitioners in the North West to target those populations with the greatest level of need and allow the region to measure progress in addressing health inequalities.  30/04/2009
