Issue - meetings

To receive the report of the Director of Public Health.

RECEIVED the presentation by Dudu Sher-Arami and Margherita Sweetlove, highlighting:

•  Health in All Policies related to Enfield Council’s decision-making and the way the organisation was working toward achieving the goals of the Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy, to improve residents’ health and wellbeing.

•  The Year 1 action plan worked along with the three behaviours identified in the Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy.

•  The next steps focussed on Making Every Contact Count training for Council staff and partner organisations, and thematic years for the priorities.

IN RESPONSE comments and questions were received, including:

1.    The concerted efforts were welcomed to accelerate measures. There would be opportunities to work collectively. Consistent communications were important.

2.    Extension of smoke-free areas in Council properties and amendments to tenancy agreements had been suggested and had Board support.

3.    It was requested that social isolation be added as a priority area for Year 4.

AGREED that Health and Wellbeing Board noted the presentation.
