Mark Adams, Director of Public Health

The Joint Director of Public Health South Tees delivered a presentation to the Live Well South Tees Board on the Development of the Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2023-2028.

The Board were advised that the Live Well South Tees Board had a statutory duty, with the NHS to produce for their population:

·        Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) and

·        Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy

The Health and Wellbeing Strategy outlines how the Live Well South Tees Board aims to improve the health and wellbeing of people in South Tees and reduce health inequalities.  The Board heard that health inequalities were not the fault of individual people, they were the result of social, environmental, and economic factors.

The Strategy aims to:

• Tackle complicated problems which cannot be solved by any single agency. 
• Commit a wide range of partners to working together to explore local issues and challenges, agree priorities to respond collaboratively, using collective resources.
• be informed by the JSNA, that uses data, intelligence and evidence to identify the current and future health and social care needs of the population in South Tees

The Director of Public Health advised that the aims of the Integrated Care Systems (ICS) and the Live Well South Tees Board overlapped significantly.  The aims of the ICS aims were outlined as follows:

·        Improve outcomes in population health and healthcare

·        Tackle inequalities in outcomes, experience and access

·        Enhance productivity and value for money

·        Help the NHS support broader social and economic development

The Board heard that the vision for the Live Well South Tees Board was to “Empower the citizens of South Tees to live longer and healthier lives” by committing to the following aims:

·        Start Well:  Children and Young People have the Best Start in Life

We want children and young people to grow up in a community that promotes safety, aspiration, resilience and healthy lifestyles

·        Live Well:  People Live Healthier and Longer Lives

We want to improve the quality of life by providing opportunities and support so more people can choose and sustain a healthier lifestyle

·        Age Well:  More people will live longer and healthier lives

We want more people leading independent lives through integrated and sustainable support

The Live Well South Tees Board would ensure the delivery of its vision through:

• Addressing Inequalities
• Integration and collaboration
• Use of Information and Intelligence
• Involvement of residents, patients and service users

The Board were advised that the current JSNA was out of date and many of the topics contained in it were disconnected from the strategic aims and responded to specific issues.  The JSNA acted as a compendium of topics rather than a strategic needs assessment.  The Director of Public Health stated that the aim was to differentiate between the JSNA and an ad hoc needs assessment.

The Director of Public Health detailed a mission based approach and provided examples of missions for the Start Well Aim of the strategy which could include:

·        Narrowing the outcome gap between children growing up in disadvantage and  ...  view the full minutes text for item 22/4
