Report of the Director of Public Health

The Director of Public Health submitted a report for Members to consider the next steps to implement the recommendations of the Joint Local Health and Wellbeing Strategy (JLHWS).

The report explained that at the meeting of the Health and Wellbeing board on the 5^th December 2024 the JLHWS was agreed and has now been published. It was agreed at that meeting that the progress against the identified priorities will be shared through a regular cycle of update reports.

There are eight agreed priorities in the JLHWS and it is proposed that each year there will be a deep dive review of two agreed priorities, the first focus of review is on Pregnancy and early years.

It was also explained that the JLHWS will be reviewed every year, to monitor progress and impact so the strategy will remain relevant.

Discussion ensued around agreement in the approach of a deep dive review into priorities.

AGREED - That Members note the report.
