Key Decision identified as Health & Wellbeing Strategy in the Notice of Key Decisions published on 10 June 2020.
The Cabinet Member for Health and Social Care presented the report of the Director: Health, Wellbeing & Commissioning. The report outlined the proposals for the refreshed Health & Wellbeing Strategy for 2020/21 – 2022/23. It was noted that the strategy had been produced before the full impact of Covid-19 had been realised. The pandemic had significantly impacted on resident’s health and wellbeing, particularly in relation to emotional and mental wellbeing. The strategy had been updated to reflect the recovery, reform and reset agenda.
The proposed priorities were:
· Continued development of the Telford & Wrekin Integrated Place Partnership
· Focus on tackling health inequalities
· Call to action to improve emotional and mental wellbeing
· Protection from infectious diseases and other threats.
Cabinet Members paid tribute to the work of the local community to support the strategy.
RESOLVED that the Health & Wellbeing Strategy 2020/21-2022/23 be approved.
