7. Health Inequalities

7.9.1 To receive a report at the next meeting which identifies common areas of interest where partners can learn lessons that help provide assurance in relation to addressing inequalities. This would explicitly explore the correlation between delivery outcomes of NHS Health Checks and areas of Deprivation and assess the potential for creating bespoke elements to be added to the Health Check – to influence improved outcomes and greater confidence in the value of the programme.

7.9.2 A report to be presented to a future Board meeting on the outcomes identified in the Asset Mapping work completed in TWBC area with a view to exploring the potential for a ‘consistency of approaches’ towards asset mapping (to also relate to the Devolution Deal;  focus on the formation of Local Care facilities and ‘spatial patterns’ within the context of the development of New Models of Primary Care).

Insufficient time to fully consider these matters. Since the last meeting in December, the Board has held a Development Event (February) which agreed to identify more dedicated time within meetings for deliberation and decision-making. Suggest that the Board has dedicated time at future meetings for the following issues which will help the Board identify areas of interest:

·         A new approach to the Kent Health & Wellbeing Strategy

·         Links between the NHS Health Checks Results and Deprivation. Time required to enable discussion between KCC and WK CCG on the potential for developing ‘bespoke’ elements to the checks. A report could then be brought back to the HWB

It has been agreed that this will be considered at the June HWB meeting, with Tunbridge Wells Borough Council officers taking a lead in presenting the work carried out in that area.

Kent HWB considered the new approach to developing the Kent Health & Wellbeing Strategy – feedback to be given to WK HWB at 18 April meeting.

Additional support required to facilitate discussion between CCG and KCC and provide feedback to Board.

Since last meeting work carried out to explore what work has been undertaken/feasibility of a Tunbridge Wells focused presentation has highlighted that Asset Mapping has also been carried out in other areas in West Kent and the Board will benefit from taking a broader view of work undertaken, outcomes/progress and future prospects.
