Report of the Director of Public Health proposing the adoption of the draft Health and Wellbeing Strategy for the City, attached.

The Committee considered the report detailing the draft Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2017 – 2025 which set out the strategic vision for improving the health and reducing health inequalities in the City. 

The Board noted that the strategy had been built on the Marmot Principles and the strategic intent aligned with the Southampton Connect City Strategy, Southampton City Council Strategies and the Southampton CCG five year strategic plan and two year operational plan.  The draft strategy included four themes:-

·  People in Southampton lived active, safe and independent lives and managed their own health and wellbeing;

·  Inequalities in health outcomes were reduced;

·  Southampton was a healthy place to live and work with strong, active communities; and

·  People in Southampton had improved health experiences as a result of high quality, integrated services.

The Board noted that the next informal meeting of the Health and Wellbeing Board would be developing the action plan to accompany the strategy which would be submitted to the next formal meeting of the Board for adoption.

RESOLVED: that the draft Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2017 – 2025 be recommended to Full Council and the Clinical Commissioning Group Governing Body for adoption.
