The Public Health Observatory – part of Public Health England – publishes Health Profiles for every council area in England.You can find them here: click on E and select East Cambridgeshire.

The Health Profile for our district shows that generally we’re in average or better than average health compared to the rest of the country, except in two aspects: the numbers of people killed or seriously injured on our roads, and the incidence of malignant melanoma (skin cancer).
