Role of the Health and Wellbeing
Board
|
|
The Health and Wellbeing Board brings together local
leaders and decision-makers, to work to improve the health and
wellbeing of Rotherham people, reduce health inequalities and
promote an integrated approach. The Health and Wellbeing Board is a
statutory sub-committee of the Council but will operate as a
multi-agency board of equal partners.
The role of the board includes:
-
Overseeing and driving the implementation of the
Health and Wellbeing Strategy, 2018-2025.
-
Leading action to reduce health inequalities in
Rotherham and tackle the wider determinants of health to ensure the
health of our most vulnerable communities is improving the
fastest.
-
Identifying priorities and needs within our system,
and mobilising action to respond to these priorities.
-
Setting the strategic direction for the Place Board
and Place Plan.
-
Influencing other bodies and stakeholders, including
those with a role in addressing the wider determinants of health to
embed health equity in all policies.
Rotherham’s Health and Wellbeing Board is also committed to
delivering the four aims outlined within the Health and Wellbeing
Strategy, which are:
-
All children get the best start in life and go on to
achieve their potential
-
All Rotherham people enjoy the best possible mental
health and wellbeing and have a good quality of life
-
All Rotherham people live well for
longer
-
All Rotherham people live in safe and resilient
communities.
