Additional documents:

Minutes:

The Board considered the report of the Director of Public Health the described the ‘Building Back Fairer – Tackling Health Inequalities in Manchester 2022-27’ articulated the actions that the city would take to reduce inequalities, with a focus on the social determinants of health. It had been produced by Manchester’s Marmot Health Inequalities Task Group along with insights from trusted organisations that represent or work with people with lived experience of health inequalities who tended to be marginalised or seldom heard. Engagement of the workforce and services across the social determinants of health, and ongoing community and resident involvement would be critical to developing the detail and successful delivery of the plan.

The Chair further commented that the values of the report were embedded in the Integrated Care System that had been discussed earlier on the agenda.

The Assistant Director of Public Health recognised the comments made regarding the challenges of funding by advising that different services were working collaboratively to pool resources and budgets and maximise all opportunities to bid for sources of funding.

 

The Director of Public Health stated that the finalised plan would be launched at Council and the ambition was to maintain momentum across all parties to deliver this important area of work, adding that all partners had engaged and responded positively with this work to tackle health inequalities. The Chair commented that the Health Scrutiny Committee would also be considering this item at their October meeting.  

 

Decision

 

The Board endorse Manchester’s Tackling Health Inequalities Action Plan.
