Minutes:

The Director of Public Health introduced the report which detailed the work of the Marmot Community Programme to reduce inequalities and the work of the Cheshire and Merseyside Health and Care Partnership with the programme. The report also set out proposals for a workshop led by the Marmot team to ensure that work already in progress was acknowledged and aligned to assist in the production of the Wirral Health and Wellbeing Strategy, via the establishment of a working group with representation from partners to take forward the recommendations of the 2021 Public Health Annual Report and findings from the Marmot workshop and final report to produce the local Health and Wellbeing Strategy.

 

Colleagues around the table welcomed the approach which aligned with other work ongoing in the Health sector and committed to engaging in the working group. The Board was informed of the investment coming into the borough through the Towns Fund, with multi-million-pound capital investment into the renovation of the Treasury Annex building in Birkenhead to develop a multi-sector Wellbeing and Opportunity Centre encompassing health, education and the voluntary sector. It was felt that the Board would benefit from an update on that development and the other work coming out of the Towns Fund from both a Health and Education aspect.
