That was the start to my week last Sunday evening. Since then I've been in Brussels at the European Parliament, in Paris with the incoming Presidency of the EU and in Lome hosting an EU-African Liberal Conference.

The Department of Health have published an updated 'Health Profile' for West Wiltshire for 2008 - the third year the figures have been published. Generally it says we're in good nick. Compared to the national average we're saner, we live longer, we're below average ability at binge drinking and smoking, and our teenagers are better at not getting pregnant. 10% of children are classed as obese when they start school and 190 smokers die each year. Amongst adults 22% smoke, 15% do binge drinking, 26% eat healthily and 12% are physically active - although it's not explained how the other 88% manage to be physically inactive without being dead, nor whether there's overlap - does binge drinking count as physical activity?
