Introduction<br />

The purpose of this profile is to bring together data affecting the health and wellbeing of the<br />

people of <strong>Copeland</strong>. It is aimed at colleagues within the NHS, external partners and the third<br />

sector. Firstly, its’ content will aid future commissioning with the intention of improving health<br />

outcomes for the population of <strong>Copeland</strong>. Secondly, the report may also be useful for<br />

partners to assist them with their strategic aims around health improvement. Responding to<br />

the Coalition Government’s White Paper: Equity & Excellence: Liberating the NHS (<strong>2010</strong>)<br />

which suggests a move to locality based GP consortia commissioning arrangements where<br />

possible data are presented at GP practice level. Where this is not feasible data are at local<br />

authority level. National and county comparator information is provided.<br />
