Our Healthy Future Indicators (2015)
Key Messages
The strategic framework Our Healthy Future was launched by Welsh Government in 2009, with the aim of improving the health of the Wales population. More information is available on their website.
In 2013, the Public Health Wales Observatory published a set of indicators to monitor progress against the framework’s priorities. The topics covered include smoking, obesity, alcohol and health inequalities.
These indicators have now been updated to use the latest available data. The baseline figures have also been amended to account for changes in population estimates and the European standard population.

The new information is available via:
An interactive data file (.xlsx) containing tables and charts for local authorities and health boards
A set of PowerPoint slides (.pptx) containing a selection of the charts available from the interactive data file
A technical guide (.pdf) describes the methods used to produce the new indicators.
The original set of Our Healthy Future indicators is available here.
Update Schedule
It is anticipated that these indicators will be superseded in 2016 by the Public Health Outcomes Framework. This will support the Wellbeing of Future Generations Act by setting out a vision for public health, desired outcomes and a wider set of indicators that will help us understand how well public health is being improved and protected.
