This decision will come into force immediately so as to commence the formal consultation process.

Following a workshop in February 2018, the Health and Wellbeing Board agreed a set of priorities for the health and wellbeing system, as a whole, in Torbay. It was recognised that there are a range of plans and strategies of a number of partnerships and organisations which aim to address these priorities.

The draft Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy appended to this record of decision collates the goals and outcomes of those plans and strategies, as they relate to Torbay, into one Strategy and was endorsed by the Health and Wellbeing Board at its meeting held on 12 July 2018.

As part of Torbay Council’s Policy Framework, the draft Strategy will be subject to consultation for at least six weeks.  It is proposed that the Strategy will be presented to Council for final approval by the end of 2018.
