Furthermore, the factors affecting health and quality of life are complex and often the result of dramatic changes in the economy and society as a whole.

To achieve this objective we will need to continue to work jointly with our local community planning partners such as the schools, Community Safety Services, Glasgow East Regeneration Agency, Culture and Sport Glasgow and the many local voluntary and community groups.
