Agenda item

6.1

Greg Fell presented the report which briefed the Board on progress made towards implementation of the Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy.  The report also set out a proposed programme of discussions for 2020, focused on each of the ambitions contained within the Strategy to be led by specific individuals and supported by a relevant Board Member.  He also drew attention to the set of criteria for developing robust implementation plans in each of the ambitions and highlighted the need to ensure that the Board did not forget the topics that were not explicitly highlighted in the Strategy, but where there was work being carried out.  The Board remained accountable for them and Members of the Board may ask for a report on any issue of relevance to health and wellbeing.  The Strategy would need to be adaptable as it developed.

6.2

Councillor George Lindars-Hammond welcomed the approach and felt that it could be challenging as in order to review the success of one ambition, may rely on the success of another. 

6.3

Councillor Jackie Drayton said that there was a need to remind people what was already being done.  The Strategy was not the beginning, but was building on successes already in place.  Terry Hudsen (Chair) felt that this was an important point and the Board should celebrate what has been achieved, possibly through an annual workshop to celebrate the many good pieces of work, as part of the annual assurance process.

6.4

Alison Knowles supported the approach and requested that a fourth column be added to the table to include the peoples voice.

6.5

Councillor George Lindars-Hammond stated that the role of the Health and Wellbeing Board was to recognise what had already been done, what was being done well and things that were important to Sheffielders.
