The Deputy Director of Public Health submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) inviting the Scrutiny Committee to comment on the Stockport Joint Health & Wellbeing Strategy for 2017-2020 that had been endorsed by the Health & Wellbeing Board. The Strategy was based on the outcomes and priorities of the recent Joint Strategic Needs Assessment and reflected the fast changing landscape within the health and social care economy. The Strategy had been subject to consultation with local partners and complemented their priorities.

The Executive Councillor (Health) and Chair of the Health & Wellbeing Board (Councillor Tom McGee) attended the meeting to respond to questions from councillors.

The following comments were made/ issues raised:-

·         There had been positive feedback from partners about a stakeholder engagement event in October, although it may not have been long enough to capture their contribution, and there was a general lack of engagement in the work of the Health & Wellbeing Board from blue light services. In response, it was commented that the Board was continuing to evolve, but it was important to ensure focussed engagement to maximise the attendance of partners who were often short of capacity. Having a productive relationship with partners in practical, everyday activity was of more tangible importance than membership of the Board.

·         The format of the Strategy had captured well the complex issues involved. In response, the Executive Councillor paid tribute to the Public Health team for their hard work in preparing the Strategy.

·         The centrality of housing to health and wellbeing was stressed. This link was acknowledged, and comment was made that Stockport Homes were well engaged with Public Health and very community focussed. Other social landlords operating in Stockport were not as well engaged.

·         The previous Strategy had been subject to wide and comprehensive stakeholder engagement, and a pocket guide had also been produced. The challenge was for partners to inform and engage the public on the Strategy and the wider health and care agenda. In response, the value and importance of communication was acknowledged, particularly in relation to Stockport Together and the concerns being expressed about the future of services.

·         The Strategy was a good indication of the breadth of local ambition for improving health and wellbeing of residents. Those ambitions and initiatives nevertheless needed to be kept under review.

RESOLVED – (1) That the Joint Health & Wellbeing Strategy 2017-2020 be noted.

(2) That the Scrutiny Committee would welcome a further update on the development of the Community Investment Fund.
