RECEIVED the draft Enfield Joint Local Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2024-2030, introduced by Dudu Sher-Arami, Director of Public Health, and Victoria Adnan, Policy and Performance Manager.

1.  Board members were requested to send their own feedback and to circulate the draft document and questionnaire link to their networks during the current consultation period. Officers would also be pleased to attend meetings of groups to continue the engagement programme. The online consultation would run until 29 January 2024.

2.  A special meeting between the Health and Wellbeing Board and the Borough Partnership was proposed around mid-February 2024 for presentation of the consultation feedback and any amendments to the strategy.

IN RESPONSE

3.  In response to the Chair’s queries regarding success of consultation, this would be by ensuring good quality conversations and speaking with a broad range of types of Enfield residents and stakeholders in organisations across the health and care sector.

4.  Cllr Milne had concerns that the strategy was aspirational but did not specify what success would look like or how it would be measured. Officers advised that these concerns, also raised at Health and Adult Social Care Scrutiny Panel, were being addressed. It was confirmed there would be a monitoring framework that would also link to key strategies already in place such as the corporate plan and population health strategy. The action plans in the JLHWS would also be developed during the life of the strategy.

5.  Pamela Burke would like for young carers and adult carers to be noted specifically in the strategy. Officers agreed to review the text, and would incorporate carers networks into the actions planning. Dudu Sher-Arami would liaise further outside the meeting regarding engagement with the carers’ community before the end of the consultation period.

RECEIVED the slide presentation, introduced by Dudu Sher-Arami, Director of Public Health, Victoria Adnan, Policy and Performance Manager, and Dr Chad Byworth, Public Health Team.

NOTED

1.  Officers had been engaging with stakeholders and updating the proposed strategy on the basis of the recent development session.

2.  There was time for partners to invite officers to forums and meetings to have conversations about the proposed strategy. They wanted to speak to as many in Voluntary Services and communities as possible.

3.  As advised, the approach would be evidence informed and have a relatable structure using a population health approach with a life course model. The five principles guiding the actions were re-iterated.

4.  Within each of the life course themes were four specific priorities.

5.  Further feedback was sought from the Board at this stage on those priorities. Members were welcome to provide written feedback after this meeting.

IN RESPONSE

6.  In response to the Chair’s queries, it was anticipated that under each priority area there would be an action plan that this Board would oversee. Progress made on each of the priorities would be demonstrated over the course of the strategy. Short term realistic goals should be worked to.

7.  It was suggested that, with limited resources, focus on a small number of deliverable actions was preferable. The Chair considered the immediate urgent challenges to be around ‘Age Well’ and older people.

8.  It was confirmed that consultation and engagement would run from 6 November 2023 to 15 January 2024 and would include a public questionnaire. The Chair raised the importance of consultation with under-represented and diverse groups to ensure their views were reflected.

9.  It was confirmed that the strategy was aligned with ICB work and priorities, and also Council strategies and NMUH plans. The action plan should also act as part of the delivery plan for some of the priorities in the population health and integration strategy.
