Yorkshire Smokefree Calderdale Local Commissioned Service AgreementDecember 15th, 2015
FiledDecember 15th, 2015Smoking is the biggest single preventable cause of illness and premature death in the UK. It is estimated that 87,000 people die in the UK every year because of smoking. Approximately 19.4% of the population of Calderdale smoke, however smoking rates vary considerably across different socio-economic groups. Reducing smoking across all groups and especially those living in areas of deprivation in the district is a key priority for Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council and Calderdale Clinical Commissioning Group.
