The Board to consider:

1. Quarter 4 Exception Reports (including verbal update on priority 4.4)

2. Annual Priority Indicator Set Summary

Sarah Heathcote, Health Inequalities Manager, B&NES Council

Sarah Heathcote, Health Inequalities Manager, B&NES Council summarised the Quarter 4 exception reports and annual priority indicator set summary and highlighted the main findings (presentation attached as an appendix to the minutes).

Laura Ambler (Executive Director of Place, B&NES BSW ICB) confirmed that in relation to Priority action 4.4 “Improve equitable access to physical and mental health services for all ages via the development of Integrated Neighbourhood Teams (INTs), community-based specialist services and our specialist centres”, the pilot work on integrated neighbourhood teams had paused, but once the ICB work programme was set there would be integration with the JHWS priorities.

The following comments were raised:

1. it was noted that the work on the Affordable Schools Programme (1.3.3) had been shared with all schools and was recognised as best practice. 
2. There were some new indicators relating to priority 2 based on the Council’s Economic Strategy.
3. Should the Health and Wellbeing Board receive Equality Impact Assessments?

The Board RESOLVED to:

(1)  Note the requests on the log:

a.  to promote and encourage schools to engage in the Affordable Schools Programme (1.3.3)

b.  to continue to champion the Community Wellbeing Hub (3.1.1)

c.  to flag any funding opportunities to support the alignment of culture and health and wellbeing outcomes (3.2.3).

(2)  Note that a Master Exception Reporting Log was being maintained and updated.

(3)  Feedback any issues to be considered as part of the Review and Refresh of the JHWS Implementation Plan currently in progress.
