To receive an update about priorities going forward, further to the meeting of Health and Wellbeing Board 09/02/17.

Minutes:

RECEIVED the report of Tessa Lindfield (Director of Public Health).

 

NOTED

 

Tessa Lindfield’s introduction of the report highlighted:

?  Further to previous discussions at Health and Wellbeing Board (HWB), three priority areas were recommended as the focus for the final two years of the 5 year Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy (JHWS).

?  The report addressed the arguments around all areas proposed, and the rationale behind the selected priorities.

?  Four levels of engagement were recommended, including in depth input from HWB to the top three priorities; collaboration in the area of domestic violence; enhanced monitoring of other issues; and outcome indicators to be reviewed annually by HWB.

 

IN RESPONSE comments and questions were received, including:

 

1.    Deborah Fowler asked about the practical processes, and ensuring how HWB added value. Vivien Giladi also questioned the differences between the roles of HWB and Scrutiny. In response, Tessa Lindfield advised that HWB’s role rather than scrutinising existing arrangements, was to look at issues and evidence in respect of improvements in Enfield, and actions for HWB. In respect of governance, existing groups and partnership boards should be utilised, and formal sub boards could be re-energised to deliver some of that work.

 

AGREED that Health and Wellbeing Board

(i)  endorsed the four levels of engagement in monitoring the progress of JHWS in 2017-2019;

(ii)  endorsed the recommended priority areas:

            ?  Better Start in Life

            ?  Obesity

            ?  Mental Health Resilience
