Brighton and Hove Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2019-2030, Delivery Plan

Joint report of the Director of Public Health, Executive Director, Adult Health and Social Care and Executive Managing Director, Brighton and Hove Clinical Commissioning Group (copy attached)

Decision:

RESOLVED – (1) That the Board approves the initial Health and Wellbeing Strategy Delivery Plan and makes recommendations for areas it would like to consider in its 2020/21 programme; and

 

(2) That the Board agrees to invite relevant Heads of Service of the Council to attend the Board at different meetings throughout the year to report on how their department is fulfilling the Strategy and to give the Board their detailed plans, e.g., the Head of Transport to report on how the City’s Transport Strategy will comply with the requirements of the Health and Wellbeing Strategy.

 

NB: The Board were in agreement that the Strategy needed to be incorporated into all areas of council decision making, for other areas of the council to report back on issues relating to the Strategy (as referred to in 2 above); for feedback on progress to start with starting well and dying well and then to move on to the other two wells. Yearly updates on progress of the Plan will be given to the Board from June 2021.

Minutes:

44.1    The Board considered a joint report of the Director of Public Health, the Executive Director, Health and Adult Social Care and the Executive Managing Director, Brighton and Hove Clinical Commissioning Group detailing the Brighton and Hove Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2019- 2030 and seeking approval of the initial Health and Wellbeing Strategy Delivery Plan which made recommendations for areas it would like to consider in the 2020/21 programme.

 

44.2    It was noted that Health and Wellbeing Boards had a duty to prepare a Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy in order to meet needs identified in the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment. The Brighton and Hove Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2019-30 had been approved by the Board at its meeting in March 2019 and this paper presented an initial delivery plan to deliver the aspirations of the strategy. Board Members would provide system leadership to enable the delivery and further development of the Plan.

 

44.3    It was noted that the following amendment to the recommendations had been received from the Green Group proposed by Councillor Shanks and seconded by Councillor Nield.

 

            “To add the recommendation 1.2:

 

            That the Board agrees to invite relevant Heads of Service of the Council to attend the Board at different meetings throughout the year to report on how their department is fulfilling the Strategy and to explain their detailed plans to the Board, e.g., the Head of Transport to report on how the City’s Transport Strategy will comply with the requirements of the Health and Wellbeing Strategy.”

 

44.4    Councillor Shanks stated that she fully supported the Plan but considered that it was very important to ensure that there was effective reporting back on work to/of all partners in order to keep the strategy rolling forward. Councillor Nield also concurred in that view stating that she had seconded the amendment on that basis.

 

44.5    Councillor Bagaeen stated that he also supported the proposed amendment which would help to ensure that the cross-cutting approach advocated was carried forward effectively.

 

44.6    Councillor Shanks referred to the social prescribing which in cases where that was considered to be appropriate could ease the pressure on busy GP practices as did measures already in place to encourage earlier intervention and to enable patients to speak to/be seen by other suitably qualified staff other than solely by their GP.

 

44.7    Councillor Appich referred to the measures in place to ensure that those with learning disabilities were aware of and had access to a full range of services. Councillor Appich had attended a Partnership Board meeting at which these issues had been discussed the previous day and the available data was very worrying.

 

44.8    The Chair, Councillor Moonan, welcomed the proposed amendment which would help to ensure that the Board were kept updated regarding roll-out across council departments and the interface between that work its interface with other partners.

 

44.9    As no further matters were raised in respect of this item the Chair then took a vote on the proposed amendment. A vote was taken, the amendment was carried and was then voted on as a substantive repot recommendation.

 

44.10  RESOLVED – (1) That the Board approves the initial Health and Wellbeing Strategy Delivery Plan and makes recommendations for areas it would like to consider in its 2020/21 programme; and

 

(2) That the Board agrees to invite relevant Heads of Service of the Council to attend the Board at different meetings throughout the year to report on how their department is fulfilling the Strategy and to give the Board their detailed plans, e.g., the Head of Transport to report on how the City’s Transport Strategy will comply with the requirements of the Health and Wellbeing Strategy.

 

NB: The Board were in agreement that the Strategy needed to be incorporated into all areas of council decision making, for other areas of the council to report back on issues relating to the Strategy (as referred to in 2 above); for feedback on progress to start with starting well and dying well and then to move on to the other two wells. Yearly updates on progress of the Plan will be given to the Board from June 2021.
