Healthier Communities
Introduction
Within the LAA and the Devon Sustainable Community Strategy a broad definition of health has been adopted which includes mental and social health as well as physical health. Two definitions of health provided by the World Health Organisation (WHO) demonstrate these wider dimensions of health. The World Health Organisation's 1948 definition of Health now commonly used is " Health is a complete state of physical, mental and social well being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity". This definition is broad and indicates that health has many components; it is not just being free of disease or illness.
