Decision:

RESOLVED:

 

1.    That following review of the draft Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy, ahead of the Surrey Health and Wellbeing Board being asked to approve the final version on 4 April 2019, it be approved.

 

2.    That a Committees-in-Common approach between the County Council and six Clinical Commissioning Groups in the county to align decision-making related to the strategic commissioning of health and care services across Surrey be established.

 

3.    That a sub-committee of the Cabinet with a membership of the Leader of the Council (Chair), the Cabinet Member for Adults and Public Health, and the Cabinet Member for Children, Young People and Families be established.

5.    That the County Council’s Director of Law and Governance be authorised to make the relevant updates to the Council’s constitution.

 

Reasons for Decision:

 

Improving the health and wellbeing of the population is an important part of delivering the new community vision for Surrey. The draft Health and Wellbeing Strategy for Surrey identifies a set of priorities based upon a robust review of evidence and analysis of health needs, the views of residents and stakeholders from across the Surrey health and care system. Taking a ten year view with a focus on prevention and tackling the root causes of poor health will improve outcomes for Surrey residents and help to secure a financially sustainable health and care system.

Minutes:

The Leader of the Council introduced a report detailing the proposed Surrey Joint Health & Wellbeing Strategy.  He said that 30% of health outcomes was down to the individual life choices, 20% as result of health service interventions and 50% down to environmental factors.  This showed that the Council could have a big influence on health outcomes.  He went on to say that the Plan identified areas needed to be worked on currently and that it fitted with the 2030 vision that no one was left behind.  He acknowledged that there was more work to do and particularly with measurement of success.  He outlined the strategic commissioning approach with the Committees-in-Common and also explained the proposed Cabinet Sub Committee.

 

Several Members welcomed the development, were pleased that it was a delivery model and how it fitted with the 2030 Vision.  It was also acknowledged that whilst work on the countryside would help resident’s health that there was more work to be done on low emissions and air quality.
