RESOLVED:   That the council approves the Norfolk & Waveney Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2018 – 2022.

Reason for Decision

As a member of the Norfolk Health and Wellbeing Board to approve the Norfolk & Waveney Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2018 – 2022.

Councillor Nockolds presented a report which explained that the council was a member of the Norfolk Health and Wellbeing Board. The board had been developing a new four year Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy to address a range of health and wellbeing issues across the county. Following extensive consultation and development work the strategy was in draft stage and board partners had been asked to approve the strategy.

In debating the report Cabinet welcomed the work to be carried out to implement the recommendations once the strategy was agreed.  Attention was drawn to the work already carried out in the Borough to improve the health and well being such as offering allotments, the man shed, Lilly, Care and Repair and Careline, embedding officers into the hospital to assist with the bed blocking by ensuring homes were suitable for people to be discharged to.

The Environment and Community Panel had endorsed the report.
