Report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services.

The Sub Committee received a report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services outlining the development of the draft City of London Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy, a requirement of local authorities by the Health and Social Care Act 2012.

Members discussed how the proposed priorities would be measured over a period of three years and the difficulties of obtaining accurate figures of City residents and the public health services they utilise. An action plan was being developed and definitions were being created to define each of the services. There was a small dependency on services reporting issues back to the City, for example, through City LINk.

A Member highlighted the need to address the attitudes toward drug use of City workers and would circulate a urine analysis report to Farrah Hart for her information.

There was currently no shadow Health and Wellbeing Board Member responsible for the harmonisation of the Planning and Transport strategies with the Health and Wellbeing strategy but the Sub Committee were informed that this would be addressed. A reference to the Policing strategy would also be added.
