Issue - meetings

A presentation will be made.

The Board received a presentation within the agenda circulated, which set out the requirements of the new Local Government and Involvement in Public Health Act 2007.

It was noted that the Act placed a statutory responsibility on Local Strategic Partnerships to work in partnership, deliver Sustainable Community Strategies and engage with the local community.

Within this, there was now a duty upon the Council to prepare the LAA on behalf of the partnership. However, all key partners were required to work together to address risks and challenges facing the local area and combine resources in the most effective way possible to achieve this.

The Board was advised that this would be discussed in more detail as part of the Thematic Board workshops being held in March.

RESOLVED:

That the verbal update provided be noted.
