Decision details

Members of the Board had previously agreed that a refresh of the Health and Wellbeing Strategy be undertaken, with a subsequent workshop to agree key areas of focus for the Strategy.  The report provides an update subsequent to the workshop, with potential workstreams identified and a refreshed Strategy for consideration.

Members of the Board were requested to consider the groupings and workstreams proposed for action under the headings of Early Years, Activating Communities for Health and Wellbeing, Early Help and Managing Demand, Wider Determinants of Health, together with the opportunities to facilitate delivering, agreeing whether they were an appropriate reflection of the future focus required to improve health and wellbeing outcomes in Lancashire.

The Board also agreed on members which will lead activity on the workstreams and the frequency that progress will be reported back to future meetings:

There is an opportunity for support with this from the Local Government Association (LGA) which is available.  Also engage with the Health and Wellbeing Partnerships as their role is crucial in delivering these outcomes across the County along with the District Councils and the Leads should make these contacts.

Resolved:  That the Health and Wellbeing Board:

i)  Considered the outcomes from the workshop and agreed the proposed areas of work required to improve health and wellbeing outcomes in Lancashire.

ii)  Agreed lead Board members for each programme of work.

iii)  Would receive progress reports on the proposed work streams on a regular basis at future Board meetings.

iv)  Adopted the updated draft Health and Wellbeing Strategy.

v)  Clare Platt to discuss with Gary Hall re leading on the Wider Determinants of Health workstream.

vi)  Clare Platt to initiate the first meeting with all the leads to discuss going forward.
