Health and Wellbeing Strategy
The February Board discussed the Health and Wellbeing Strategy. This builds on the Community Strategy, Commissioning Strategic Plan, and Local Area Agreement, and focuses on those areas of health and well being that require joint action to secure progress and success. There were updates on each of the ten priorities for the Strategy, which reflect the current local risk factors that most impact on health inequalities in terms of physical and mental health and opportunities for achieving life potential and independence.
For each of the ten priorities there has been a review of current targets/goals to assess the scale of ambition; assessment of current effort and strategy for achieving the goals with likelihood of success; re-statement of recommended changes to the goals to ensure the most ambitious impact on health inequalities locally; recommendations on the overall strategy and actions to achieve goals over the 3 year period 2010-13 with more precise action for year one (with plans making clear how partners will work together actively to achieve critical impact). Time-limited work has been commissioned in respect of the priorities, with the aim of ensuring that project plans for delivery are in place; that there is effective joint intelligence support; and that key linkages are made with other LSP Boards. Leadership and management arrangements have been put in place, and these will support the strategy as it moves into its final planning and implementation phases.
