VOTE OF THANKS

It was moved by Marianne Fredericks, seconded by Randall Anderson and RESOLVED, that - the Members of the Health and Wellbeing  Board place on record their sincere appreciation to their retiring Chairman,

DEPUTY JOYCE NASH

for her unstinting commitment to fulfilling the physical and mental health and wellbeing needs of all City residents and workers.

Since Joyce’s election as Chairman in 2016, and through the Board’s productive partnership work, a number of ambitious and essential projects have been launched and implemented. To name but a few; the Social Wellbeing Strategy, Suicide Prevention Action Plan and the Business Healthy Strategy; notwithstanding the Board’s invaluable work in overseeing adult safeguarding.

In order to support the health and social care integration agenda, Joyce’s Chairmanship has overseen the preparation of the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment and the production of a Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy and,

looking to the future, the Board is now well placed to support the National Health Service’s long term plans, working alongside its partners.  Joyce has always shown flexibility, compassion and professionalism to both this and other complex, emotive issues.

Finally, the board wishes to place on record its recognition of Joyce’s dedication to the wellbeing of the City’s workers and residents and the Board’s achievements are evidence of her exemplary work ethic and compassionate nature.  Her colleagues would like to convey their gratitude and best wishes for the future.
