Issue - meetings

Report attached.

The 2016 report summarised arrangements for protecting the health of the population.  The report also provided a spotlight on seasonal influenza which described the uptake of flu immunisation, arrangements for ensuring good uptake, and surveillance arrangements.

A number of agencies and groups provide reports to the Health Protection Forum, including the air quality working group. The main campaigns on air quality were funded by the Greater London Authority for whom this was a key issue. Havering had the best air quality in London although it was accepted that this could still be improved further.

The Board NOTED the report.
