An analysis of the area profile through 28 Health Check Indicators shows that North Lanarkshire has seen a number of successes in recent years, but there are also challenges. 

While trends show strong improvements in a number of key indicators relating to economic growth, investment, employment, and educational attainment, there are still unacceptably high levels of deprivation and child poverty, and clear areas of inequity and inequality remaining.

This means that not all of North Lanarkshire's people share equally in the improving picture, and there is an element of social exclusion across some of our towns and communities.  As such, this analysis provided the evidence that informed the direction for The Plan for North Lanarkshire when it was established and the 28 Health Check Indicators continue to be monitored to assess progress and inform delivery through the Programme of Work.

The most recent results in relation to the 28 Health Check Indicators are available in the link below.
