Minutes:
The Board received an update on progress to date in developing the Health and Wellbeing Strategy, the remit of the Strategy and emerging priorities, as well as next steps and a timeline for finalising the Strategy.
As a result of discussions on the presentation the Board discussed the emerging priorities, and these are summarised as follows that:
- Whilst the partnership does not have all the levers in respect of poverty as it is such an underlying driver of inequality and poor health outcomes
- As an issue across all age groups consideration should be given to mental health and emotional wellbeing.
- Healthy activity and life expectancy should be a priority as it has been shown that physical activity ties into many of the other issues including that of mental health; healthy weight; general health and social isolation. Whilst the Council could take the role of a strategic lead it would be a priority that would include many partners including those in the private sector;
- The importance of social isolation and the impact on mental health needs consideration.
- The Board needs to ensure that all individuals and communities, including the most disadvantaged, have access to and use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs).
- The ability to influence access to high quality on time health and social care; and
- As delivery organisations Board Members need to look at how they deliver services to make change happen e.g. what projects and interventions will be needed to set up or enhanced to make those changes happen.
