Health and Wellbeing Strategy Consultation

Health and Wellbeing Strategy Consultation

Consultation description

The Joint Health and Wellbeing Board is a well-established partnership between Kensington and Chelsea and Westminster Councils, the NHS and Voluntary and Community organisations. 

The Board is responsible for understanding and improving the health and wellbeing of residents in our boroughs. We are committed to working together to reduce  health inequalities.

We have a responsibility to write and deliver a Health and Wellbeing Strategy. We are now consulting on the draft strategy to make sure it reflects the priorities and experiences of local people.

The Health and Wellbeing Strategy

Our Health and Wellbeing Strategy has five principles. These principles set out how we will work together, and with communities, to help tackle health inequalities. 

These principles are:

• having a single and agreed vision
• being community-led
• working as one partnership
• delivering better health and wellbeing for all
• we are data led

The Health and Wellbeing Strategy has ten ambitions. These are the things that we aim to achieve to improve the health and wellbeing of our residents over the next ten years.

The ambitions in the strategy are:

1. Our children and young people are healthy, safe and can achieve their full potential
2. We can all be active in our health
3. We support people to look after their mental wellbeing
4. We have a good quality home
5. We feel safe and part of our communities
6. Our boroughs are healthy environments
7. We have access to the best services when and where needed
8. We are all treated with fairness and able to shape decisions that affect us
9. We are all financially stable and have access to enriching opportunities and good jobs.
10. We are supported and empowered to live as independently as possible

Why your views matter

The Health and Wellbeing Board is keen to hear your views to ensure that all our communities can influence the strategy.  Health inequalities affect different groups in different ways. The only way we can work towards reducing health inequalities is by making sure everyone’s views are heard.

We are also under a legal obligation to involve the people who live or work in our areas when developing a health and wellbeing strategy. If you have any queries, or require assistance in other languages, please contact us by emailing healthandwellbeingstrategy@westminster.gov.uk
