Overview
Cambridgeshire County Council (CCC) is a County Council working across Cambridgeshire. CCC covers the districts of Huntingdon, Fenland, East Cambridgeshire, South Cambridgeshire, and Cambridge City.
The districts CCC cover have varying levels of affluence and differing populations. The council is responsible for many different public services including public health.
Those who work in the public health service work to improve the health of people who live in Cambridgeshire such as drugs and alcohol, healthy weight, physical activity, and sexual health. Delivery of NHS Health Checks is a nationally mandated service for local authorities.
