Vital Signs Preview
Jeff Wheeldon spoke about the ‘Vital Signs’ report, which will be released next week.  The report measures things we care about.  The Vital Signs report will be released officially in Brighton at the Community Centre on Tuesday April 9th at 4pm.
 
The metric used by Government on the health of the state is the GDP. Generally as the GDP goes up, people are doing better. But GDP is measuring spending. If spending creates a mess and then spend more to clean up, GDP went up and people were working, but was life improved?  During Vietnam, Canada made the napalm, so we made money. 
 
Better metrics may be the World Happiness Index, which shows that the richest countries are not necessarily the happiest ones.  The UN has ‘Sustainable Development Goals’ such as 'no poverty'.
 
Vital Signs looks at a more local level. The report is based on a comparison of statistics from 2016 to 2021 for Northumberland County.
