The development of procedures and opportunities to attract and accommodate ‘hard to reach’ population groups (e.g. diabetics, cardiac rehab, obesity) to utilise sporting facilities through exercise referral to type programmes.
This is being considered in the ongoing City Council re-structuring and in light of recent national publications including "The Equity Standard".
