Did you know we have a dedicated powers and duties tool?
Available to LG Inform Plus subscribers, it provides information on what current legislation gives English and Welsh councils the power to do and what it requires them to do in law. Advanced searching and filtering options make it easy to find specific powers and duties based on legislation, business function and keyword, and results are easily exported in commonly used formats.

Proportion of the population meeting the recommended '5-a-day' on a 'usual day' (adults)(male)
(12050)

- Help text
- Proportion of the population who, when surveyed, reported that they had eaten the recommended 5 portions of fruit and vegetables on a usual day. This is the weighted number of respondents aged 16 and over, with valid responses to questions on fruit and vegetable consumption, eating at least 5 portions of fruit and vegetables in the previous day. Responses to the fruit and vegetables questions were summed together to provide a total number of fruit and vegetable portions eaten in the previous day.
All analyses for this indicator have been weighted to be representative of the population of England. These indicators use data from the Sport England Active Lives (AL) survey. These indicators were not intended to be, and should not be, compared directly with other sources of diet data. The AL questions are more simplistic than those used in other sources e.g. National Diet and Nutrition Survey (NDNS) or Health Survey for England (HSE). The AL survey measures whole numbers of portions with composite foods (fruit/vegetables used in recipes) not explicitly included in the AL survey. Furthermore, the survey method, which uses online or postal responses rather than a food diary or face to face interview, is different and it is not unexpected that different survey methods give different results. The results for AL presented here give higher estimates for the percentage consuming five or more portions of fruit or vegetables a day than both the NDNS and the HSE. The method used in AL enables responses from a very large sample to be collected which means we can present data for each local authority which cannot be done using other sources.
The main purpose of the data set used for the PHOF indicators is to enable comparisons between areas and to measure progress. Latest update presents data from Active Lives for the period mid-November to mid-November.
