To consider the submitted report on the above policy framework document and the recommendations of the Health and Wellbeing Board.

The Council considered the submitted report and the recommendations of the Health and Wellbeing Board on the Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy.  The Strategy was a requirement under the Health and Social Care Act and set out priorities for health and well-being.

It was proposed by Councillor Mills and seconded by Councillor Doggett:

(i)         that the Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy set out at Appendix 2 to the submitted report be approved, with the priorities being delivered through three strands:

(a)       The Joined-up Health and Social Care Plan;

(b)       The Healthy Torbay framework; and

(c)        The Community Safety and Adult and Children’s Safeguarding plans; and

(ii)        that it be noted that the Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy will be subject to an annual review by the Health and Wellbeing Board and that it may be possible to bring the three strands referred to in (i) (a) to (c) above together at a later stage.

On being put to the vote, the motion was declared carried (unanimous).
