To consider a report regarding the appointment of additional members to the Health and Wellbeing Board. (5 mins)

The Board received a report proposing the appointment of the Director Locality and Customer Services, Wokingham Borough Council, to the Health and Wellbeing Board.

During the discussion of this item the following points were made:

·         Councillor Dolinski reminded Board members that discussions had been held previously regarding the need for an insight into wellbeing and the built environment. 

·         Councillor Helliar Symons suggested that a representative from the Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service also be invited to sit on the Board.  Clare Rebbeck indicated that the Fire Service was represented on the Place and Community Partnership.  However, the partnership was being restructured and its role with regards to the Board, was being looked at.  It was agreed to revisit the possibility of appointing a representative from the Fire and Rescue Service following the outcome of this review.

RESOLVED:  That

1)         the Director (from Wokingham Borough Council) with responsibility for Planning and Localities be appointed to the Health and Wellbeing Board;

2)         it be recommended to Council via Constitution Review Working Group that section 4.4.23 of the Constitution be amended to reflect the change in the Health and Wellbeing Board membership.
