Issue - meetings

15 minutes

To agree the priority indicator set and the proposed process for accessing and monitoring the indicators.

Sarah Heathcote (Health Inequalities Manager), Gareth Jones (Team Leader - Performance) and Paul Scott (Associate Director and Consultant in Public Health) to present the report.

Gareth Jones (B&NES Business Intelligence Team) gave a live demonstration of the Power BI report which would be used as one of the processes for monitoring the implementation of the Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy.  He confirmed that not all measures had been finalised and asked the Board for any comments on the work undertaken so far.

In response to questions, the Board was advised:

1.  Some of the measures would be static, e.g., energy performance and so it was important to consider this process along with the complementary processes (1) reports from partners on relevant projects across the year; (2) exception reporting on delivery of all the actions in the Implementation Plan twice a

Year and (3) Development Sessions with the HWB that enable longer scrutiny and discussion of progress or delays within the implementation plan.

2.  The air quality indicator referred to was nitrogen dioxide.

3.  It would be possible to benchmark this data with the English average.

4.  The indicator set would be finalised in time for Quarter 4 (February) and would be refreshed annually.

5.  Board members would be able to access the data directly via a link.

Board Members raised the following comments:

1.  It was useful to see the data in this format.

2.  The data was a helpful articulation of what was being achieved, but it was generic, and it would be useful to also report on some specific examples. 

3.  Consideration needed to be given on how the indicators could translate to targets.

The Board RESOLVED to agree the priority indicator set and the proposed process for accessing and monitoring the indicators.
