Agenda item

The Board considered a joint report of the Director of Business Planning and Partnerships, NHS Sheffield CCG and the Director of Commissioning, Sheffield City Council, which provided an update on three of the five Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy Work Programmes, including:

(1)  A Good Start in life

(2)  Building Mental Wellbeing and Emotional Resilience

(3)  Food and Physical Activity

Consultation on the Best Start Early Years Strategy had commenced on 16 March 2015. It was intended that the CCG was a joint signatory to the Strategy.

The Sheffield Food Strategy was approved by Cabinet in June 2014 and year one of the implementation plan was almost complete and the implementation plan for 2015/16 was under review. Progress had been made in implementing some areas of the Move More Plan.

In relation to Mental Health and Emotional Resilience, a working group had been established to co-ordinate a plan for the delivery of a programme of work to help achieve the aims of the work programme 2. Whilst the remit was challenging, the group was close to agreement on a draft plan.

Resolved: that the Health and Wellbeing Board:

(1)  Supports the progress made with each of the following work programmes: A Good Start in life; Building Mental Wellbeing and Emotional Resilience; and Food and Physical Activity.

(2)  Requests a further update be submitted to the Board on the work programmes in March 2016, if not before.
