Agenda item

The Board considered an update report from the Barnsley Health Protection Board setting out its activity over the last year as a means of providing reassurance that the health of the residents of Barnsley was being protected in a pro-active and effective way.

The Board considered in particular areas of success in relation to infection prevention and control and TB.  It also noted those areas where further action was required, most notably flu vaccination for over 65s and acknowledged at risk groups and HIV.  The Health and Wellbeing Board welcomed the HPB’s continued programme of work and receipt of the minutes of their meetings.

RESOLVED that the work of the Health Protection Board over the last year be noted and those areas requiring further action and the interventions recommended be supported.
