Minutes:

Graham Ebers presented the Strategy into Action.

 

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

 

·         The Strategy provided a catalyst for an enhanced level of focus.

·         The appendices captured actions that were being taken around different themes such as physical activity. 

·         Currently, the dashboards only showed the Public Health Outcomes Framework (PHOF) but they would develop over time. 

·         Graham Ebers highlighted the Spotlight Action, which was the Social Isolation and Loneliness Group.  Board members discussed the Friendship Alliance.  Councillor Margetts noted that going forward, this Group would require extra resources and income in order to deliver the projects and programmes that had been outlined in the business case, as well as increasing some of the existing services.  He questioned how much additional income and resources would be required.  Matt Pope clarified that should the project have a positive impact, funding would be sought from the prevention agenda to ensure its continuation.

·         Graham Ebers stated that there was a desire to take each target and make an improvement of 10% (either + or – as appropriate). 

·         Tessa Lindfield commented that whilst she agreed with the ambition to make an improvement on the targets, she felt that 10% would be too arbitrary in several cases as some targets related to arresting the impact of a particular trend.  She suggested that further work be carried out on the individual targets.

·         Susan Parsonage commented that she felt that there should be differential targets.

·         Councillor Hare commented that financial constraints might mean that a 10% change was not always be possible.

·         Dr Winfield emphasised that it was important that targets were meaningful.  She wanted to see more information regarding timescales.
