To consider the attached consultation document from the Worcestershire Well Being Board on the Worcestershire Joint Health and Well Being Strategy.

(Report attached)

The Council considered a consultation document from the Worcestershire Health and Well-being Board on the Worcestershire Health and Well-being Strategy.

Members noted the five priorities within the Strategy but had concerns regarding transport and access to services and to the funding for the contents of the Strategy, particularly in view of proposed County Council budget cuts.   Clearly there was also an overlap between this consultation and the on-going review of Acute Hospital Services discussed earlier in the meeting.

Members were also concerned about the short period of time for responding to the consultation.

RESOLVED that

the Chief Executive be requested to co-ordinate a response to the Worcestershire Health and Well-being Board through the Group Leaders and the  Portfolio Holder Councillor Debbie Taylor.
