Issue - meetings

Councillor John Williams, portfolio holder for Stronger and Healthier Neighbourhoods, introduced a report along with the draft Newcastle-under-Lyme Health and Wellbeing Strategy.

The Newcastle-under-Lyme Health and Wellbeing Strategy (Consultation Draft) sought to identify and prioritise the key determinants of health in Newcastle-under-Lyme, develop a shared approach to addressing health inequalities and ensure that the borough’s residents were well placed to benefit from current health reforms.

Resolved:

(1)               That the draft Health and Wellbeing Strategy be approved and the partnership responses required to implement it be supported; and

(2)               That a consultation exercise be undertaken with Public Health, North Staffordshire Clinical Commissioning Group, Newcastle NHS Partnership, Healthwatch, local residents and a much wider range of partner organisations.
