The Minutes of the Health and Wellbeing Board held on 13 October 2016 were confirmed as a correct record and signed by the Chairman.

To consider and provide feedback on the Healthy Torbay Supplementary Planning Document.

The Health and Wellbeing Board considered a report and received a presentation that sought their views on the Healthy Torbay Supplementary Planning Document (SPD).  The Senior Planning and Public Health Officer informed the Board that the Council’s Public Health and Spatial Planning teams had jointly led on the production of the SPD.  The SPD focused on how interventions made within the built environment, particularly through the development process, can impact on the wider determinants of health.

Members were informed that the SPD was currently subject to a four week public consultation period, following which final ratification will be sought from Council.  The SPD will then become part of the Council’s statutory ‘development plan’ which guides decision-making in respect of planning decisions.

By consensus the Board resolved:

That the Healthy Torbay Supplementary Planning Document be endorsed and the Council be recommended to approve the document.

To consider a report that provides a summary of work undertaken by the Board and to determine the work programme and membership of the Board moving forward.

The Board considered a report and received a presentation from Caroline Dimond on a summary of the work undertaken by the Board over the past year and reviewed:

·         the work programme for 2017/2018; and

·         the Board’s membership.

Members were informed that the Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy was agreed in December 2015 and covered the period 2015-2020.  It is clear that work to deliver the strategy is being undertaken by a range of groups which sit below the Health and Wellbeing Board (HWBB), therefore it was recommended that the HWBB provide the assurance mechanism and receive highlight reports on each of its six priorities at each meeting and performs a ‘deep dive’ into one of the two priorities as set out in the work programme.

It was resolved by consensus that:

i)             the End of Year report be noted and published alongside the Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy;

ii)            the Work Programme be approved for 2017/2018;

iii)           the Chairs of the Health and Wellbeing Board, Children’s and Adults Safeguarding Boards and the Community Safety Partner meet to determine whether arrangements between the boards can be streamlined including any potential changes to the membership of the Health and Wellbeing Board.

To note a report that details the development of an Ageing Positively Strategy for Torbay.

The Board noted a report and received a presentation from Simon Sherbersky and Sue McDermot from The Torbay Community Development Trust that detailed the engagement-led approach taken by the Ageing Well Torbay Programme Board.  The report detailed the next steps and sought the Boards support for the direction of travel.

By consensus the Board resolved:

i)             That the Ageing Well Partnership be requested to establish a task and finish groupto create a positive vision for later life in Torbay which will form the basis of the Ageing Well Strategy;

ii)            That the South Devon and Torbay Clinical Commissioning Group, Torbay Council and Integrated Care Organisation nominate representatives to attend, engage and actively participate in the task and finish group;

iii)           That the task and finish group also include a selection of people in later life in order for the strategy to be truly co-developed and co-produced;

iv)           That the draft Ageing Well Strategy be presented at a future meeting of the Board; and

v)            That Board members and the Ageing Well group nominate representatives to sit on the task and finish group.

To note the above report.

The Board noted the report that provided a summary of the assurance functions of the Health Protection Committee.
