2021 Recommendations

Home / 2021 Recommendations

  1. To report the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Long-Term Conditions in Liverpool.

    • Details are included throughout the report.

  2. To report the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Morbidity including Multimorbidity within the population.

    • The appropriate management of long-term conditions is a key challenge for health systems everywhere in the world. The entire city needs to focus on prevention, early identification and a person-centred approach to supporting people with multimorbidity, done primarily in the community. The long-term ambition for Liverpool is a radical programme to delay and prevent multimorbidity, as well as ameliorating its effects. This means a city-wide life course focus on healthy ageing (which does not start at 65 years, but actually before birth) aimed at reducing the number of healthy life years lost to multimorbidity.

  3. To report on the outcome of vaccine hesitancy by the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine.

    • Details of the excellent vaccine hesitancy programme are included in the report.

  4. To report on the innovative and creative ways Public Health works with other departments – such as Arts and Culture and Markets and the Retail sector.

    • We continue to work with departments within the Council and wider partners across all our work programmes. An example of this was the 2021 Public Health Annual Report launch – a collaboration and organised with the Liverpool City Council culture team. The Liverpool Marmot Partnership group was also established in 2022, which involves teams across Liverpool City Council including planning, as well as partners across Liverpool, including housing associations and the business community.

  5. To understand the impact of ‘Long COVID’ and ‘COVID fatigue’ as we recover from the pandemic.

  6. To invest substantially in low level support for Mental Health.

    • Details of mental health support are included in the report.

  7. COVID-19 pandemic recovery.

    • Details of pandemic recovery work are included throughout this report.
