Developing the Future Priorities of the Slough Wellbeing Board PDF 85 KB Additional documents: Minutes: Consideration was given to a report that set out the proposed future priorities of the Slough Wellbeing Board. A development session was held on 3rd October 2019 for members of the Board. An external facilitator had been engaged to co-ordinate the session and assist with the development of the Board’s future priority areas of work. During the session, information regarding the Council’s strategic partnerships, the role of Frimley Integrated Care System and data relating to the Borough’s health inequalities and wider determinants of health were discussed.

Annual Director of Public Health Report (2019) Berkshire - A Good Place to Work PDF 104 KB Additional documents: Minutes: The Strategic Director of Public Health for Berkshire introduced the report that summarised the Annual Director of Public Health Report (ADPHR) 2019: Berkshire – A Good Place to Work, which focussed on workplace health and wellbeing. Every year the Strategic Director of Public Health had a statutory responsibility to produce an ADPHR. The report aimed to inform residents of health issues in their community, inspire action and guide decision makers’ priorities, and ultimately reduce local health inequalities. This year’s report focussed on work and health. The topic had been selected due to the strong relationship between work, health and the opportunity in workplaces to take action to improve health and wellbeing. Evidence showed that ‘good work’ improved health and wellbeing, by connecting people, providing a stable income, social interaction and a sense of identity and purpose. Unemployment was associated with an increased risk of poorer health, including limiting long-term illness, heart disease, poor mental health and health harming behaviour. The relationship between work and health was symbiotic: good work was good for people’s health, and people in the best health were more productive and good for business. The benefit of improving workplace health extended beyond the individual worker. For an employer, a healthy resilient workforce took fewer sick absences, had better productivity and longer careers before retiring. From an economic and wider societal view, an unhealthy workforce could lead to increased healthcare costs, increased informal caregiving, increased long-term sickness and a loss in productivity. The key messages of the report were:
Following the conclusion of the presentation, the Chair invited Board members to comment and ask questions.
During the course of a wide-ranging discussion, the following points were raised:
Resolved –
(a) That the report be noted.
(b) That the workplace health and wellbeing recommendations set out in the ADPHR be included in the Slough Wellbeing Board Strategy. (Cate Duffy left the meeting) |
