Brentwood Borough Council is a key partner organisation that makes up the

Brentwood Health and Wellbeing Board. Part of the governance arrangements for the Board is that a regular update is provided to the Council’s Community and Health Committee (or relevant committee) on the progress of the Board in reducing health inequalities in the borough.

Mrs Anderson summarised the report.

A motion was MOVED by Cllr Poppy and SECONDED by Cllr Tierney to

approve the recommendation in the report.

A vote was taken by a show of hands and it was RESOLVED

UNANIMOUSLY to:

1.    Note the Brentwood Health and Wellbeing Board Strategy

(Appendix A) and;

programme.

Reasons for Recommendation

The Health and Wellbeing Board Strategy sets out to reduce the health

inequalities of the residents in Brentwood. Brentwood Borough Council can,

through a programme of implementation of Health in all Policies, have a

positive impact on the wider socio-economic determinants of health, to enable

our residents to lead active, healthy, and fulfilling lifestyles.
