Why: We are facing an epidemiological crisis with avoidable disability creating huge burdens• Avoidable early deaths
• Chronic disease – poor self management, poor management of sub-clinical risk, must do better on prevention and early intervention
• Disability and costs to social care and NHS
• Some sections of our population at very high risk of avoidable misery and death
• Mental health – intervening too late
• Resilience and Happiness – likewise
