Agenda item

Diane Lee presented this item, seeking the Health and Wellbeing Board's approval and endorsement of the refreshed Health and Wellbeing Strategy (2021-2030) and seeking Members' views on next steps for the Board to ensure successful implementation of the Strategy.  The Strategy examines  what needs to be done collectively to achieve a Healthy Barnsley by 2030, focussing on the wider determinants of health.  Key ambitions for a Healthy Barnsley are set out on one page under the headings of Starting Well, Living Well and Ageing Well, with an initial focus on improving Mental Health for all ages and ensuring that Barnsley is a great place for a child to be born.  It was highlighted that in terms of next steps, the Strategy needs to be launched, implemented and shared  widely, including via social media channels, with examples from different organisations of the great work being done in the Borough.  A communication plan is being developed for this.  The Strategy was well received by the Board, and thanks expressed to all those involved.  Performance and progress will be brought back to the Board. 

RESOLVED that the content and principles contained within the refreshed Health and Wellbeing Strategy (2021 – 2030 and the next steps in the launch and implementation thereof, be noted and endorsed.
