  1. Improving Health & Wellbeing in York 2013-16 York’s shadow Health & Wellbeing Board are part-way through a process of developing a strategy for we will improve the health and wellbeing of York residents. So far it has decided: For York to be a community where all residents enjoy long, healthy and independent lives, by ensuring that everyone is able to make healthy choices and, when they need it, have easy access to responsive health and social care services which they have helped to shape. Understanding of York’s health and wellbeing needs (Joint Strategic Needs Analysis 2012) Vision Other drivers (e.g. finances) Priorities 4. Enabling all children and young people to have the best start in life 1. Making York a great place for older people to live 2. Reducing health inequality 3. Improving mental health and intervening early 5. Creating a financially sustainable local health and wellbeing system These priorities do not, nor are intended to, cover everything the Board and its constituent organisations will do over the lifetime of the strategy. Rather, they are areas which the Board feel that by honing in on and identifying joint approaches and actions, it can benefit the City in ways which may not ‘just happen anyway’ acting independently.

  2. To help identify what the specific actions under each priority may be, during the summer the Board Secretariat met with a number of health and wellbeing organisations in the City, including management boards of H&WB members, frontline staff, community groups and volunteers. Various stakeholders were asked people what they felt would make the biggest difference in helping us to achieve our priorities. In total, around 200 people were involved in discussing actions in one-to-one meetings or group sessions. As a direct result of each of these people’s input being brought together and developed, with the support of the relevant partnership chairs, proposals were developed around some suggested principles and a suite of more concrete options which acknowledge resource implications and evidence of impact for the Board to consider. The Board had a session in September to consider the principles suggested by the consultation, and which of the proposed actions they wanted to commit to over the lifetime of the strategy. These decisions have been shaped into a draft Strategy which the Health & Wellbeing Board will consider on 3 October, and will subsequently be distributed for consultation and comment, including to the YorOK Board. It is worth noting that the priority ‘enabling all children and young people to have the best start in life’ has been taken forward slightly differently, given the existing work around a refreshed Children & Young People’s Plan. Instead of duplicating work, the Children & Young People’s Plan will effectively form the detail under this strategic priority. The aim is for the final version of the Strategy to be ready for sign-off by the Health & Wellbeing Board in December.
