The Enfield Health and
Wellbeing Board was set up under the Health and Social
care Act 2012 to create a forum where the key leaders from the
health and care system can work together to improve the health and
wellbeing of the local population and reduce health
inequalities.
Health and wellbeing boards are
a key part of the Government’s broader plans to modernise the
NHS and to:
- Ensure
stronger democratic legitimacy and involvement
- Strengthen working relationships between health and social care,
and,
- Encourage the development of more integrated commissioning of
services.
The Board aims to help give
communities a greater say in understanding and addressing their
local health and social care needs.
