Health & Wellbeing Board roles, functions and membership

This portfolio includes Leisure, Community Safety, Environmental Health, Climate Change & Air Quality. The rationale being that these wider determinants of health have a significant impact on the health and wellbeing of our residents and the inclusioin Strategic Director will strengthen the Boards involvement and influence in these agendas.
- Removal of King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust from the Board.

The trust will remain a member of the Partnership Southwark Strategic Board, and will remain able to submit papers to the Health & Wellbeing Board as necessary in the future.
- The responsibilities of the South East London ICB Place Executive Lead will in future be assumed by the Strategic Director of Integrated Health & Care from June 2024. This will include membership of the Health & Wellbeing Board.

Impact on Urban Health: Inequalities Research
Supporting documents: Minutes: The Board considered the report and presentation, presented by Mike Rigby, Niky Duncanova & Anne Kazimirski from Impact on Urban Health (IoUH) team. Impact Urban Health, works through partnerships at the local, national, and international levels, to learn how they can address inequalities in health that disproportionately affect people residing in cities. Their work is focused in Lambeth and Southwark and seeks to make a positive impact on health and gain insights that inform strategies for better health and wellbeing in South London and beyond
The presentation covered IoUH aim and objective. Their aim: gather baseline data to deepen our understanding of the intersecting factors that affect health in Lambeth & Southwark, in partnership with Lambeth & Southwark councils Their objective: unlock improved local decision-making and service provision through community-informed and hyper-local data
Highlighted amongst the key finding of their research were 2 key emerging themes Ø A person’s likelihood of being in good health was most likely to be influenced by their degree of financial security, education level, housing tenure and conditions, ethnicity, gender, and LGBTQ+ status. Ø The insights into health and wellbeing provided by residents of Lambeth and Southwark highlight significant disparities in health influenced by a complex interplay of structural discrimination, trust in and access to healthcare, housing quality, and broader social and economic determinants of health.
RESOLVED - That the Health & Wellbeing Board;
1. Note the findings of the research and inequalities experienced by residents in Southwark.
2. Assess policy and service decisions against the experiences and concerns identified through this research.

Development of a Southwark Anti-Poverty Action Plan
Supporting documents: Minutes: The Board considered the report which provided details of the development and ambitions for the Southwark Anti-Poverty Action Plan (the Plan). The Plan will provide a framework to enable the Board to consider Southwark’s contribution to tackling poverty as both a wider determinant of - and causal factor in - poor health. It’ll also provide a clear point of focus for the Board to ensure the best efforts of colleagues from across the organisations are focused where they are needed most. With regards to its development, the Plan will become a mechanism for assuring the Borough’s response to ongoing cost of living pressures for residents, facilitating a joined-up approach as a tool for discussion at a strategic level. It will enable prioritisation based on shared vision, objectives, outcomes and measures of success. There are already a wide range of strategies and initiatives in place, in Southwark to tackle poverty. Further work is required to more fully map and reflect the work of all partners and ensure a truly holistic picture of activity in the borough. The Health and Wellbeing Board will have a key role in the identification, review and monitoring of outcomes from the Plan.
RESOLVED - That the Southwark Health and Wellbeing Board;
2. Agree to establish a Southwark Anti-Poverty Action Plan (the Plan) as part of our joint response to the ambitions being developed through Southwark 2030, and to review the Plan as part of a new annual cycle.
3. Establish a task-and-finish group to develop the first iteration of the Plan. Also, identify representatives to join the group, which will present back to the Board in November 2024.

Health Protection Report 2022/23: Summary for the Health and Wellbeing Board
Supporting documents: Minutes: The Board considered the report which provided an overview of health protection activities, incidents, challenges and achievements from April 2022 to March 2023. Further details were set out in appendix 1 of the report
A broad range of health protection work was achieved during 2022/23, with some common themes emerging: Ø A high level of health protection activity persists post-pandemic. Ø There has been some post-pandemic fallout, for example the high number of Group A Strep cases and the impact on breast cancer coverage. Ø Opportunities highlighted from the pandemic including the benefits of close working with communities to tailor our health protection responses to what is acceptable, accessible and understandable. Ø Evidence that there is an ongoing need for vigilance as an inner borough within a global city such as London, for example mpox, diphtheria amongst asylum seekers and travel related infections.
Across the Southwark system, it works most effectively through: Ø A coordinated multi-partner/agency approach. Ø Working closely with our communities. Ø Using data smartly and ensuring a systematic approach to action planning. Ø Making every contact count and thinking broadly around the holistic needs of population groups who, quite commonly, may benefit from more than one health protection intervention.
RESOLVED - That the Health and Wellbeing Board;
1. Note the findings of the Health Protection Summary Report 2022/23 and health protection activity across the system during 2022/23, set out in appendix.
2. Agrees to receive a health protection report annually. For 2024/25 this would be at the meeting in December 2024.
