Pan Lancashire Health and Wellbeing Governance Arrangements

Decision Maker: Cabinet

Decision status: Recommendations approved

Is Key decision?: No

Purpose:

Earlier in the year Lancashire Leaders Group agreed that work should be undertaken to move to a new model of Health and Wellbeing Board governance, in the form of a single Health and Wellbeing Board for Lancashire, with five local area health and wellbeing partnerships, reflecting the local area health economies across Lancashire.

A Summit was held on 26th July 2016, which allowed existing Health and Wellbeing Board members from across Lancashire, to explore how their statutory responsibilities could be jointly delivered in line with the proposed model. Subsequently, joint proposals and terms of reference have been drafted for approval by each of the upper tier authorities in Lancashire. These are set out for approval in this report.
