Anna Coles (Director of Integrated Commissioning) was present for this item and reported that this paper builds on the ambition of this board.  It was reported that over the last two years the local authority had worked closely with NHS partners to provide the strategic direction and develop the long term plan with local planning around the local population.  It was further added that there would be a greater focus on health and wellbeing putting prevention at the heart of the Sustainability and Transformation Partnership.

The Board noted the progress and supported the Integrated Commissioning Next Steps for Health and Wellbeing as being in line with the original ambition set by Health and Wellbeing Board in 2013.  Further updates will be provided to the Health and Wellbeing Board on progress.
