Did you know that health literacy levels are below average for the areas that Mersey Care serves? The average for words-based health illiteracy nationally is 38.66%, with Liverpool being 47.37%, Knowsley 48.79%, Halton 45.43%, Sefton 41.84%. (The higher the number the worse it is).
Why not visit one of The Evidence and Library Service’s information stands to find out more about the importance of health literacy. We will be at indigo reception on 7 & 23 October, 12 – 1.30pm, and at Hollins Perk restaurant on 15 & 27 October, 12 – 1.30pm
