Health and Wellbeing Board

The Health and Wellbeing Board works with a range of partners in the Borough with the aim of improving healthy lifestyles, access to health and life opportunities of our residents.

We want Barking and Dagenham to be a place where people are healthier and happier, and by working together in partnership, we can help achieve this.  By taking a coordinated approach to making sure we have world-class health services, we can radically improve the quality of life of local people.

We’re producing a joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy, which identifies the areas of health and wellbeing we need to focus on, and the ten priorities for the strategy.  There are plenty of challenges ahead, but together we can make a real difference, and I look forward to continuing to work in partnership to make this happen.
