The report was provided to update Members on the work regarding Health and Wellbeing within Brentwood.  It was timely to do this as there had been progress in key areas which Cllr Ms Sanders, Chair of the Health and Wellbeing Board, outlined to the Committee.  The priorities for action had been amended and a significant level of funding had been allocated to key projects.  The previous lead officer had left the Authority and a new commitment was required in terms of officer resource for the area of work.  

Cllr Ms Sanders MOVED and Cllr Mrs Davies SECONDED the recommendation in the report and following a discussion a vote was taken by a show of hands and it was:

RESOLVED UNANIMOUSLY

1.    That the progress of the Health and Wellbeing Board be noted.

2.    To agree that the Committee appoint Elaine Hanlon, Principal Environmental Health Officer as Lead Officer for Health and Wellbeing.

3.    That an update to the Health and Wellbeing workplan be brought to Committee every six months.  

REASON FOR RECOMMENDATIONS

In order that the Committee be regularly updated on the Health and Wellbeing Board workplan.
