Agenda item

The meeting received a report highlighting progress against the Health and Wellbeing Board Action Plan, setting out specific progress against the Board’s priorities and incorporating case studies from the “My Best Life” social prescribing service.  The meeting noted that all 50 actions had been RAG rated as amber or green, with no significant risks identified. 

The meeting noted the intention to support the Action Plan with a performance dashboard, which would be presented to future Board meetings, and will focus in particular on reducing health inequalities and improving healthy lifestyle. 

Particularly in relation to improving services for older people, whilst the Board welcomed activities to provide a first line of treatment following a fall, Members commented on the importance of pursuing measures for frail older people that would prevent a fall in the first place.

RESOLVED:-

(i)        that the progress being made to deliver the Health and Wellbeing Strategy and Barnsley’s Integrated Place Based Plan be noted; and

(ii)       that SSDG establish a task and finish group to focus on preventative measures in relation to frail older people.
