REASONS FOR THE DECISION:

The Health and Wellbeing Board in Sheffield is a new partnership between key commissioners in the City. This plan sets out how the Board, over the coming year, can ensure it has quality evidence of needs, workable yet ambitious strategies for action, and meaningful dialogue with stakeholders and members of the public on a number of issues including inequality. This plan sets out how, in this first year as a Board, these elements can all work together.
