Agenda item

The meeting received a report introducing the Director of Public Health’s Annual Report for 2016, which was in the form of a video setting out the views and opinions of what being healthy means to those living and working in Barnsley.  The video can be viewed here.  The meeting noted that the intention was to use the video to promote further conversations with Barnsley people, in particular to consider how they could be encouraged to enjoy healthier lives.  The report/video would be launched formally following Cabinet consideration on 5^th April.

The meeting welcomed the innovative approach being taken as a more effective way of getting across key public health messages to the public, even if it identified current low expectations of good health.  The meeting noted that the CCG planned preparing its own promotional video and would be interested in using excerpts from the public health report.

RESOLVED:-

(i)        that the Director of Public Health’s Annual Report for 2016 be received; and

(ii)       that arrangements be made to share appropriate excerpts with the CCG.
