Health and Wellbeing Strategy Refresh Update PDF 396 KB Report of the Corporate Director for Children and Adults, the Director of Commissioning, Policy and Insight and the Director of Public Health, Nottingham City Council and the Chief Operating Officer, Nottingham City Clinical Commissioning Group. Additional documents:
Minutes: Colin Monckton, Director of Commissioning, Policy and Insight presented the report providing an update on the outcomes of the Health and Wellbeing Board development session held on 24 August 2015, and the engagement and consultation strategy. Colin highlighted the following:
(a)
there has been consensus around an alternative approach for
developing the strategy based on outcomes rather than priorities
and themes; (b)
a draft engagement and consultation
strategy has been developed, with the aim of engaging with as many
citizens, interest groups and front line workers and practitioners
as possible; (c)
three public events are planned at Bulwell Riverside, Clifton
Cornerstone and the Council House Ballroom; (d) the vision of the strategy must be clear, and suggestions for its title are Nottingham will be a place where we all enjoy Health and Wellbeing, or Healthier and Happier Lives;
The following answers were given in response to questions from members of the Board:
(e)
the Board will decide whether the
strategy is given a strong brand. This may be helpful to
demonstrate strong ownership of the strategy, but it should not
detract from the fact that it belongs to the city; (f)
some of the venues for the public
consultation are quite small, but the majority of consultation will
be within existing networks rather than with large numbers of
citizens. RESOLVED to
(1)
note the outcome of the initial engagement with the
Board members on the development of the refreshed Joint Health and
Wellbeing Strategy; (2)
endorse the outcomes of the Health and Wellbeing Board
development session in regards to the development of the Joint
Health and Wellbeing Strategy; (3)
note the project plan attached to the report; (4)
endorse the draft engagement and consultation strategy
and support the delivery of engagement events (in particular the
three bespoke public events); (5) support nominated officers in the development of the front-line workforce focus groups. |

Annual report on the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment 2015 PDF 189 KB Report of the Director of Public Health and the Director of Commissioning, Policy and Insight, Nottingham City Council. Additional documents:
Minutes: Colin Monckton, Director of Commissioning, Policy and Insight
presented the report providing information on the progress and
development of the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) for
Nottingham City during 2015/16. The JSNA evidence contributes
towards improving health and wellbeing and reducing inequalities
Colin highlighted the following: (a)
34 chapters of the JSNA are being updated this
year. So far, 7 of these have been
published, with 24 in progress. It is proposed that
children’s and adult dental health and child poverty are
rolled forward to next year to ensure available capacity; (b)
a review has been carried out by public health on how well
protected groups (e.g. ethnicity, sexual orientation and
disability) are considered in the JSNA.
The findings were that Nottingham’s coverage is broadly
average, and so a need has been identified to improve
this; (c) a summary of the chapters is also being developed which will be a useful tool for future work.
RESOLVED to
(1)
note the progress which has been made to ensure the
continual refresh and quality improvement of the Joint Strategic
Needs Assessment; (2) endorse the proposed plans for further development of the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment. |

Tobacco Control Strategy PDF 237 KB Report of the Director of Public Health, Nottingham City Council Additional documents:
Minutes: Alison Challenger, Interim Director of Public Health introduced the report presenting the final version of the Tobacco Control Strategy for Nottingham City 2015-2020, which supports the vision of a smokeferee generation and a reduction in exposure to second hand smoke. John Wilcox, Insight Specialist, and Kate Thompson, Smokefree Nottingham Coordinator, then gave a presentation, highlighting the following:
(a)
smoking
is still a major issue in Nottingham. Adult smoking
is at the same level in Nottingham as it was in the UK as a whole
20 years ago, with 27% of adults being smokers. Smoking is linked
to high rates of lung cancer and heart disease, and has a negative
impact on pregnant women and children. It also has a wider impact
on the city’s productivity and environment;
(b)
smoking is also linked to inequality, with it being
more prevalent amongst the more deprived wards of the city, as well
as amongst migrants, the unemployed, those in social housing and
the LGBT community;
(c)
the Tobacco Control Strategy has been developed using analysis of
the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA). It is a partnership
strategy, involving not just the council but a wide range of
partners. Consultation has been carried out with Health and
Wellbeing Board member organisations, representatives from across
the public sector and the voluntary sector;
(d)
the vision of the strategy is to reduce adult
smoking to 20% by 2020 and to eventually have a smoke free
generation;
(e)
the key priorities of the strategy are: · protecting children from the harmful effects of smoking; · motivate and assist every smoker to quit; · reduce the supply and demand of illegal tobacco; · multi-agency partnership working and leadership;
(f) the council signed the Local Declaration on Tobacco Control a year ago, and is now extending this to local partners to sign, to support at a local level and promote strong partnership working. The
following comments were made by members of the Board:
(g)
close working with the police will be important,
especially around areas where smoking is illegal including the new
legislation around smoking in a car with a child present;
(h)
the council should approach universities and FE
colleges for their support , and possible signing of the Tobacco
Community Declaration;
(i)
expertise from other areas which have had successful
initiatives to reduce smoking, such as Glasgow, should be
researched and used;
(j)
the hard work of the Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust is
acknowledged. However, the smoke-free hospitals can push staff to
smoking offsite which can affect the surrounding areas; (k) guidance should be given to members of 3rd sector organisations on how they can support and help with the strategy.
RESOLVED to
(1)
approve the final version of the Tobacco
Control Strategy for Nottingham City 2015-2020, and to take forward
the strategy through collective leadership; (2) sign the Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Community Tobacco Control declaration.
