The Director of Public Health for Telford & Wrekin is preparing to retire after over 10 years in the role.
Mrs Noakes talked about her retirement in an annual public health report put before Telford & Wrekin Council’s health and wellbeing board this week. “Giving every child the best start in life is the most important way of reducing health inequalities.“Today’s children and young people are our borough’s greatest asset and support for children and young people is a key priority to narrowing inequalities.”
The Director of Public Health added that the pandemic combined with the cost-of-living crisis and other global events have ‘clearly affected their mental health, emotional wellbeing, motivation and hopes for the future’. Mrs Noakes added that the Youth Year of Wellbeing campaign, launched by Telford & Wrekin Young People’s Forum is ‘gaining momentum’.
