The Health and
Wellbeing Board is a committee of the Council. Its job is to agree
the Health and Wellbeing Strategy and work with all organisations
to join up health and social care for the Borough. It is made up of
elected members and officers of the Council, representatives of
Barnsley's Clinical Commissioning Group of GPs and other health
providers, and the local Health Watch, which represents the
interests of patients and service users. People from other
organisations that have an impact on health and wellbeing, such as
the District Police Commander, also attend the meetings.
The Board agreed the Health and
Wellbeing Strategy for 2016 to 2020 at its meeting on
4th October 2016 and you can view it
