Shadow Health and Wellbeing Board

The Health and Social Care Bill is going through Parliament. This Bill requires the County Council to establish a Health and Wellbeing Board.

We have set up a ‘shadow board' early to prepare us for our new responsibilities. The board will evolve and develop while it works in shadow. It will assume its full statutory powers once the Health and Social Care Bill has passed through Parliament.

What this board does

The Board is committed to improving health and wellbeing across East Sussex, especially for people, places and communities who currently have the worst health outcomes. It will make sure there is a shared and comprehensive understanding of local health and wellbeing needs, and a clear strategy to meet them.

It is an unusual council committee in that officers vote with councillors and other local representatives. It has statutory powers and meets in public.

These meetings are open to the public and press.
