\u201cBecause questions are intrinsically related to action, they spark and direct attention, perception, energy and effort, and so are at the heart of the evolving forms that our lives assume … Creativity requires asking genuine questions, those to which an answer is not already known. Questions function as open-handed invitations to creativity, calling forth that which doesn’t yet exist.\u201d

Moving Forward from the Ottawa Charter: A Chester Perspective<\/p>\n

Thirty years ago, the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion generated worldwide interest in a new public health programme based on the promotion of healthy public policies, environments conducive to health, inclusive public services and community and individual action. Thirty years later there is a clearer understanding of the relationships between politics, public policy and health, however \u201csocioeconomic inequalities in health have persisted; moreover, evidence for recent decades\u2019 points to widening inequalities\u201d (Graham, 2009, p.463). In Cheshire West and Chester, women in the least deprived areas can expect to live nearly eight years longer than women in the most deprived areas. For men the difference is 10 years (Public Health England, 2015).<\/p>\n
