As part of the Government's Common Strategic Policy (CSP) priority to Improve Islanders wellbeing and mental and physical health', the Reducing Preventable Disease (RPD) portfolio was conceived as a suite of programmes to reduce the burden of preventable diseases and avoidable early death on the Island. Total funding for all related programmes is currently warehoused in HCS.
The requested transfer covers staff and project delivery costs for programmes which are led by budget holders in SPPP and CYPES.
• Programmes led by the Public Health Policy directorate within SPPP:
- Food and Nutrition Strategy – comprising children and young people focused programmes, including Family Weight Management.
- The costs for one FTE member of staff will also be transferred to support delivery of Food and Nutrition Strategy programmes within the
SPPP Public Health Directorate.
• Programmes led by CYPES:
- Primary School Meals and Breakfast Clubs - with the aim to reverse the current upward trend in overweight and obesity, and increasing the number of Islanders eating recommended levels of fruit and vegetables.
Delivery costs planned for Reducing Preventable Disease including UNICEF Baby Friendly, Smoking Cessation and Health Promotion are to remain in HCS.
