Helping to make people feel safe and well is a key ambition of
the council. Although not directly responsible for the major health
services, we are active partners in the health field. For
example, we now have a Health and Wellbeing Development
Officer Clare Lawrence, if you have any non medical questions about
health and wellbeing please contact her on
clala@braintree.gov.uk
or 01376 551414.
