What is the Health and Wellbeing Board?

The Health and Wellbeing board aims to improve the health and wellbeing of people in Redbridge. It is a partnership board, which brings together a range of public services including adult social services, housing, public health, children’s services, leisure, environment and community safety and GPs.

Why do we have this board?

The Government’s Health and Social Care Bill states that every Local Authority must have a Health and Wellbeing Board in place by April 2013.

Redbridge Council have been invited to be a part of the National Early Implementer Network and create a Shadow Health and Wellbeing Board ahead of this time.

What does the Board do?

Health and Wellbeing Boards will improve the lives of local people by making it easier for health and social care services to buy better services together - this is known as ‘joint commissioning’. They are responsible for preparing a document known as a Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) and a Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy.These identify what services are needed to help improve people’s health and set the local framework for the commissioning of health care, social care, public health services and other council services.

When are meetings held?

Board meetings are held bi-monthly and members of the public are welcome to attend.
