Issue - meetings

The Board received a joint report of the Director of Public Health and the Director of Commissioning, Halton CCG, on the One Halton Health and Wellbeing Strategy (the Strategy).

The Board was advised that the Strategy aimed to improve the health and wellbeing of the population of Halton by empowering and supporting local people from the start to the end of their lives. The Strategy would inform collaborative action for the Council, NHS, Social Care, Public Health and other key partners. This would provide an overview of One Halton, an updated health and wellbeing profile, an update on progress since 2013 and details on how success would be measured.

Reason(s) for Decision

The Health and Social Care Act 2012 established Health and Wellbeing Boards as a forum where key leaders from the health and care system worked together to improve the health and wellbeing of their local population and reduce health inequalities. The current Health and Wellbeing Strategy expired in 2016 and a refreshed Strategy was therefore required to outline how Health and Wellbeing Board Members would collaborate to deliver more joined-up services in the future. The Executive Board was therefore asked to ratify the One Halton Health and Wellbeing Strategy (2017-2022).

Alternative Options Considered and Rejected

None.

Implementation Date

April 2017.

          RESOLVED: That the One Halton Health and Wellbeing Strategy (2017-2022) be approved and the development of Action Plans for identified priorities be supported.
