commended the work done by Public Health on healthy life expectancy

the use of data analysis that spanned a 10-20 period which they

blocks.

(whole system data programme) which is linking council data and
primary and secondary health care data, which would enable health
partners to find out the relationships between social and economic
issues and health.
ACTIONS:
- To set
out a plan for the new HWB Strategy informed by the Annual Public
Health Report - Somen Banerjee.

and the final version would include timescales.

thanked for their work on the Action Plan.
- Concerns were raised
that Tower Hamlets CCG did not provide live birth data and had not
done so for the last seven years. Cabinet Members queried why an

health stakeholders, particularly the Early Years’ Service.
It was agreed that there should be an update regarding this issue
at the next meeting including when a data sharing agreement could
be expected.
- A Member asked what
support was available to children who had missed the threshold for
SEND support. Officers said that most schools already provided very
good support, better than the national average, to children with
additional needs.

there was a transfer process in place for children who moved to
other boroughs. With regards to workforce and employment
opportunities, officers said there was
an Adult Life Group and Transition Team that identified employment
opportunities and offered placements to young adults.

benchmarking exercise or inspection with the CQC on the SEND
