Agenda item

7.1

The Co-Chair’s of the Board submitted a report providing the Board with a snapshot of its engagement from the last six months. It focused on Health and Wellbeing Board-specific engagement and therefore did not cover the engagement carried out in their own right by the organisations that were represented on the Board. It also provided some suggestions for how that engagement could be improved.

7.2

Members of the Board made comments on the matters contained in the report summarised as follows:-

·      It was important to have good engagement which needed to lead to a change in services commissioned which leads to an improvement in outcomes.

·      More analysis was needed of what made a difference. The next stage was to think about whether the Board could get more valuable information from people’s comments at engagement events.

7.3

Resolved that the Board focus its engagement from October 2014-March 2015 on a range of areas specified in the report.
