The recommendation of the Elected Mayor will be considered at the Council meeting on 5 December 2018.

At 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 there are a range of plans and strategies of a number of partnerships and organisations which aim to address these priorities.

The draft Thriving Lives: Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2018-2022 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 12 July 2018. 

As part of Torbay Council’s Policy Framework, the draft Strategy was subject to public consultation for at least 6 weeks.  There were no ‘in scope’ comments received from the public during this time.  The Elected Mayor received the final draft Strategy on 6 November 2018 and approved the contents and the process undertaken to date.
