Health & Wellbeing Strategy Consultation
The Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy Consultation is now live and will run until the 18 November 2025. The consultation will inform the Strategy to identify a small number of priority topics for shared action across the system to the benefit of all communities across the Borough. The production of the Strategy is a statutory duty of both the Local Authority and the NHS Integrated Care Board. The consultation will focus on:
- core principles
- criteria for identifying priorities
- priorities themselves
- next steps in turning strategy to action.
All residents and stakeholders can access the survey by the link here: https://consultationhub.sandwell.gov.uk/public-health/health-and-well-being-strategy-consultation
