Decision details

To consider the Health and Wellbeing Strategy following consideration by the Health and Adult Social Overview and Scrutiny Committee on 23 August 2010.

This report set out the Health and Wellbeing Strategy for Medway. The framework for the strategy reflected the need to take action to reflect the health needs of people in Medway including tackling health inequalities, healthy places, healthy lives and healthy services.

Priorities and actions had been identified across the framework reflecting contributions to health improvement from many partners and the strategy would be monitored using outcome, output and process measures.

The Health and Adult Social Care Overview and Scrutiny Committee considered the report on 23 August 2010 and its views were set out in paragraph 6 of the report.

A Diversity Impact Assessment had been completed, as set out in appendix 2 to the report, and it was noted that it had not been necessary to carry out a full impact assessment.  

Reasons:

The Strategy sets out a shared context and vision for health and well-being across Medway, together with shared priorities and actions. It provides a framework for addressing health inequalities in partnership.
