Healthy living

Information about health and healthy living is hosted by Northumberland Care Trust on their website which also includes links to other useful websites providing advice. The information will help you find local services that will support you, your family and friends to become healthier. People should be able to make informed and healthy choices so that everyone can benefit from living in a healthier society.

The government's policy Choosing Health, Making Healthy Choices Easier, launched in 2004, makes it clear that people need to take more responsibility for their own health. It is the job of the NHS working with other organisations to make it easier for people to do this.
