Issue - meetings

The Board considered a briefing paper on Tobacco Control emphasising the direction of travel on the locally determined priority.

There was a concentration of work on slowing down the take up of smoking in young people and specific action on smoking in pregnancy/smoking at time of delivery.  The change in emphasis was particularly relevant given the prevalence of e-cigarettes and leading young people into smoking rather than stopping smoking.

It was noted that the minutes of the Tobacco Control Alliance would be submitted for information in the future.

Resolved:-  (1)  That the briefing paper be noted.

(2)  That the Tobacco Control Alliance action plan be submitted to the Board.
