Report of the Acting Service Director, Intelligence, Insight and Communications requesting that the Panel consider the achievements from the Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2013-2016, the progress and plans to update the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment and develop a new Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy for the City, attached.

The Panel considered the report of the Acting Service Director, Intelligence, Insight and Communications requesting that the Panel consider the achievements from the Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2013-2016 and the progress and plans made to update the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment and a new Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy for the City.

In relation to the current strategy the Panel felt that lessons could be learnt in the development of a new strategy.  It was noted that the broad themes of the current Strategy were underpinned by 64 commitments.  Whilst it was noted that the majority of these commitments had been achieved, the Panel indicated that it felt that a more targeted approach should be used in the development of any forthcoming strategy.

The Panel discussed the potential for Member involvement in the development of the aims for the forthcoming strategy and indicated that it would be helpful, after the election, to hold a workshop for elected Members.

RESOLVED that a workshop for elected members on the emerging Health and Wellbeing Strategy be scheduled following the elections in May 2016.
