Health Profiles give a snapshot overview of health for each local authority and region in England. They are designed to help local government and health services make decisions and plans to improve local people's health and reduce health inequalities. The profiles present a set of key health indicators that show how the area compares to the national and regional average.
The profile reports are available online through the Health Profiles website. The website also provides interactive maps and charts which allow users to create their own comparisons between indicators and between local authorities.
