Minutes:
Cabinet considered a report on the Lancashire Healthy Weight Programme. It was noted that the Healthy Weight Programme was a key programme of work that spans Public Health, other departments within Lancashire County Council and beyond.
Following the approval of the Public Health Strategy by Cabinet in July 2024 and the ongoing work with district council colleagues and wider stakeholders, the report sought approval for three supporting new areas of work namely:
· The Lancashire Food Plan;
· The development of a Healthy Lancashire Advertising and Sponsorship Policy; and
· The revised Hot Food Takeaway Advisory Note.
In presenting the report, Cabinet thanked County Councillor Sue Whittam, Lead Member for Health, for all the work she had done in supporting officers in producing the policies, as well as the officers involved in producing the policies.
Resolved: That, the following be approved:
i. The Lancashire Food Plan as set out at Appendix 'A' of the report;
ii. The proposals for development of a Lancashire Healthy Advertising and Sponsorship Policy as set out at Appendix 'B' of the report; and that the Director of Public Health, Wellbeing and Communities be authorised, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Health and Wellbeing, to approve such policy; and
iii. The revised Hot Food Takeaway Advisory Note as set out at Appendix 'C' of the report.
