Agenda item

8.1

The Co-Chairs of the Health and Wellbeing Board submitted a report providing a snapshot of its engagement from the last year. The report also provided an overview for planned engagement for the year to come.

8.2

In introducing the report Dr Tim Moorhead commented that he believed it was important that the Board told the City what it was doing and why it was doing it. He attended the national NHS Clinical Commissioners Group which had looked at the way Health and Wellbeing Boards worked. A report had been submitted looking at the future of Health and Wellbeing Boards and activity of Boards across the country. It had identified the importance of Co-Chairs and this was increasingly being adopted as a model across the country.

8.3

The Commissioners Group report had been launched in the Houses of Parliament and communication had begun with the new intake of M.Ps and had included Local Authorities.

8.4

Resolved:  That the Board focus its engagement from September 2015-August 2016 on a range of areas specified in section 5.0 of the report.
