Agenda item
Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2016-2020, Developing a strategy that will make a difference- next steps
Minutes:
Cllr Amy Whitelock-Gibbs, Vice-Chair of the Health and Wellbeing Board introduced this item.
She reminded members that the Board had previously held discussions about the Health and Wellbeing Strategy and following workshops held in March, there was consensus that the Strategy should be “a strategy with a small number of core, widely owned, accountable objectives, but that is adaptive and responds to feedback.”
The Board had identified five areas for transformation:
· Addressing the health impacts of deprivation
· Helping communities lead change around health
· Healthy place
· Tackling childhood obesity; and
· Developing a truly integrated system to support health.
To explore these areas, Board Members were assigned to each transformation area and were asked to give presentations as to their initial thoughts and findings.
Dr Somen Banerjee, presented slides on the next steps for the strategy. The plan is to bring a draft document to the meeting on the 9th August and a final version for sign off at the October meeting.

Presentation 2 – Helping Communities lead change around Health
Presentation given by Dianne Barham and John Gillespie
