Health and Wellbeing Board

The key purpose of the Health and Well Being Board is to make real difference to improving the health and well being of the people of the Wigan borough.  This means taking action that will deliver practical improvements and change that residents can perceive and appreciate and that narrows the health inequalities gap.  The Board will focus on wellbeing, prevention and social economic issues that impact on people’s lives.  In order to do this, the Board will need to identify needs and understand the Wigan borough story and the residents’ experiences.  This programme of work should help to improve the health economy and rebalance the systems.
