Talking at the AGM keeping it local and a big thank you to staff who make a difference.

David stats lays out the Demanding road map to to 2018 and challenges beyond.

Population increase is welcome and says it can be handled.

£7 out of £10 is spent on people with long term health conditions.

Big issues on long term conditions, and services need to be designed to cope with this.

2/3rds of outpatients have long term conditions.

The amount of people with three or more long term conditions in 2018 is going up to 2.9 million.

Obesity is three times as deadly for men than women.
46% of men and 41% of women obese by 2029.

Detecting early cancer, recognising the early symptoms of heart disease and helping people with depression certainly improve their health - but this is more about managing illness rather than keeping people well.
