About

Purpose of committee:   The Health and Wellbeing Board is a statutory partnership between the Council, NHS, and community, voluntary and learning organisations in Southwark. The board enables partners to come together to make decisions with the aim of preventing ill health, promoting wellbeing, and reducing health inequalities.   The board delivers this function by identifying the health needs of the population through Southwark’s Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA), then addressing these needs by developing and implementing a Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy.   The current Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy, which will be delivered by 2027, identifies four overarching priorities:

A healthy start in life Healthy work and lives Support to stay well Healthy communities

  The board meets publicly four times a year. Residents are invited to attend board meetings and participate by submitting comments or public questions, in advance of each meeting and in accordance with the procedural rules set out in the council’s constitution. Resident participation helps ensure that decisions are informed by their needs and priorities.
