Dr. Jason Page to present

Aim 1:  All children get the best start in life and go on to achieve their potential

Dr. Jason Page, Rotherham CCG, presented an update in relation to Aim 1 of the Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2025.

With the aim of a powerpoint presentation, following the principles of Signs of Safety, the Board considered:-

What’s working well

What are we worried about

What needs to happen

Discussion ensued with the following issues raised/clarified:-

-          25.5% of children aged 4-5 years old were classed as obese 15% would be the expected at that level

-          Places for People, Rotherham’s leisure provider, was fully engaged with the Council.  For adults there was Slimming World, through Healthy Rotherham, and the Healthy Weight for All Plan which was about listening and endeavouring to get people more active.  The Rotherham Active Partnership was hosted at the Rotherham Leisure Centre recently.  Their aim was to engage the harder to reach groups

-          Ensure food outlets were not next to schools

-          Work required on advertising e.g. the display of adverts on public transport for fast food

Resolved:-  That the report be noted.
