This report summarises the proposals and progress towards the development of a Place Based Partnership for Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole as part of the development of the BCP Health & Wellbeing Board ‘Plan on a Page’ strategy.

The Head of Communities, Partnerships and Community Safety presented a report, a copy of which had been circulated to each Member and a copy of which appears as Appendix 'C' to these Minutes in the Minute Book.

The report summarised the proposals and progress towards the development of a Place Based Partnership for Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole as part of the development of the BCP Health & Wellbeing Board ‘Plan on a Page’ strategy.

The Board discussed the report and presentation, including:

• A Board Member highlighted how positive the work detailed was and the potential for a mapping exercise to reduce falls seemed a great fit.
• The Director of Adult Social Care Commissioning advised of the commencement of a Coproduction Board within its service and of the need to ensure there was joined up working to avoid any duplication.
• A Board Member highlighted the complexities and the need for an action plan to enable initial structure and form. The Member also stressed the need to identify what help and support was needed to enable the partnership to get into delivery mode.
• The Head of Communities, Partnerships and Community Safety requested a standing item on the agenda to provide updates and to enable the Board to help prioritise topics to ensure positive impact could be delivered.
• A Board Member highlighted the need to use this as a method of reducing inequalities in the health and wellbeing of BCP residents.
• The Corporate Director for Wellbeing summarised the progress of strategy into action to date and welcomed the coming together of health partners and BCP Council to focus on the positive outcomes it could achieve for residents.

The Head of Communities, Partnerships and Community Safety advised that some mapping work had already been undertaken, and it was necessary to pull it together for consideration of any gaps identified or any proposals which may come out of that work.

The Chair concluded the item by thanking the Head of Communities, Partnerships and Community Safety and agreeing that this should be a standing item on the Health and Wellbeing Board agenda.
