NHS Cheshire and Merseyside publishes air quality plan

The ICB's framework makes clear the links between poor air quality and poor physical and mental health and empowering individuals to take proactive measures to improve air quality in their homes and communities.

NHS Cheshire and Merseyside is partnering with local authorities and environmental organisations to craft strategies, share resources, and actively combat air pollution.

To launch this initiative, NHS Cheshire and Merseyside will implement a series of targeted actions, including promoting active travel, sustainable transport, reducing emissions, and collaborating with healthcare professionals and community members.

The ICB said: 'Healthcare experts will contribute their knowledge, while community voices will help shape a cleaner, healthier future for everyone.

'Progress will be monitored via ongoing air quality monitoring and in the analysis of health outcomes to ensure the initiatives are making a meaningful difference.'
