Agenda item

4.1

Greg Fell introduced the Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy and explained that the Strategy had been developed via a series of discussions and was split into a life course approach.  Wellbeing was built in and health inequality was addressed.

4.2

Set out in the report were two questions for the Board in relation to implementation of the Strategy.

4.3

The content of the Strategy had been approved by Sheffield City Council (SCC) and the clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and was awaiting final design.  As the Board did not have resources to develop work programmes to deliver the Strategy, the Board would use its statutory role as the system leader for health and wellbeing to convene stakeholders and the public to agree what success looks like for each of the ambitions and what needed to happen in the city to deliver and an action plan would be developed for each of the ambitions.

4.4

The Board would also use its democratic role to hold partners across the city to account for the commitments they make in those action plans.  A formal launch would take place in the Summer.

4.5

Claire Mappin suggested a minor change around the wording regarding transitioning to independence and suggested it should be changed to transitioning to adulthood as not everyone could become independent. 

4.6

The Chair suggested that progress needed to be made before the next meeting of the Health and Wellbeing Board and should be added to the Work Programme.

4.7

RESOLVED: That (1) the Board formally agree the Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy for the period 2019-24 with the minor amendment around transitioning to adulthood; and

(2) with regards to two questions for the Board in relation to implementation of the Strategy, the Board’s answers be as follows:

(i)            Do the Board agree with the broad approach to implementation of the Strategy – Yes

(ii)          Can the Board provide a steer on who should lead the implementation of the Strategy – The Board felt that the strands should be the responsibility of named Members.
