The minutes of the Live Well South Tees Board meeting held on 18 January 2024 were submitted and approved as a correct record.

 

Mark Adams, Director of Public Health South Tees

The Director of Public Health South Tees presented the draft South Tees Health and Wellbeing Strategy to the Board.

 

Members were reminded that the South Tees Health and Wellbeing Board had a statutory duty to produce for their population: a Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) and Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy.  The Health and Wellbeing Strategy outlined the Health and Wellbeing Boards aims to improve the health and wellbeing of people in South Tees and reduce health inequalities.

 

Members were advised that 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 vision of the Health and Wellbeing Strategy was to empower the citizens of South Tees to live longer and healthier lives.  The strategy was broken down into 3 aims, Start Well, Live Well and Age Well.

 

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 lead safe and independent lives, we want more people leading independent lives through integrated and sustainable support.

 

Members heard that there would be a mission led approach to the principles behind the selection of the Live Well missions.

 

·        Important and improving it will contribute to the citizens of South Tees living longer and healthier lives;

·        Broad enough to include many areas that would need to feed in to shift the outcome(s);

·        Tackles complicated problems which cannot be solved by any single agency;

·        Long term solution of many parts required;

·        Understandable, particularly by partners;

 

Each Mission was a response to a significant local challenge, one where innovation, working together and aligning resources had a big part to play in driving large-scale change.  Missions cannot be resolved by any single agency acting in isolation.

 

Start Well

 

·        We will narrow the outcome gap between children growing up in disadvantage and the national average.

·        We want to improve education, training and work prospects for young people.

·        We will prioritise and improve mental health outcomes for young people.

 

Live Well

 

·        We will reduce the proportion of our families living in poverty.

·        We will create places and systems that promote wellbeing.

·        We will support people and communities to build better health.

·        We will build an inclusive model of care for people suffering from multiple disadvantage across all partners.

 

Age Well

 

·        We will promote independence for older people.

·        We will ensure everyone has the right to a dignified death.
