The Lambeth Health and Wellbeing Board sets the strategic direction for improving health and wellbeing across the borough, aiming to reduce inequalities and ensure a shared understanding of local health needs. It guides decision-making by partners, agreeing on a joint strategy with clear outcomes and intended beneficiaries. The board champions co-production and co-design, involving citizens and communities in identifying priorities and taking action. It also seeks to maximise the impact of available resources and provide leadership for service transformation, holding partner agencies accountable for their contributions to health and wellbeing outcomes, though it does not perform a formal scrutiny role.
