Decision details

15.1     The Board considered a report by the Director of Adult Social Care and Health on the East Sussex Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2016-2019 and updates to East Sussex Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2013-2016 annual progress report.

15.2     In response to questions, officers made the following key points:

·         The East Sussex Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2016-2019 (HWBS) sets out the vision and priorities of the East Sussex Health and Wellbeing Board (HWB), and is a framework for the commissioning of health and wellbeing services in the county. The detailed plans contained within the Sussex and East Surrey Sustainability and Transformation Plan (STP) are not part of the HWBS.

·         East Sussex Better Together constitutes the STP for the Eastbourne, Hailsham and Seaford and Hastings and Rother areas of East Sussex and has been through the decision making processes of East Sussex County Council and the CCGs; figures are widely available relating to its costs and benefits. Connecting 4 You (C4Y) will go through a similarly transparent decision making process for the High Weald Lewes Havens area of East Sussex. The recently published STP document also provides overarching figures.

15.3     The Board RESOLVED to:

1) agree the Health on the East Sussex Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2016-2019; and

2) Note the updates to East Sussex Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2013-2016 annual progress report.
