West Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership Board will meet in public on Tuesday 21 January 2025 at 1:30pm. The Partnership Board meets in public every three months. The agenda, papers, and link to watch the meeting live can be accessed at: www.wypartnership.co.uk/meetings/partnershipboard/papers
The meeting will be held online and will also be livestreamed from the Partnership website, with a recording available after the meeting.
The Partnership Board further strengthens joint working arrangements between the NHS, councils, care providers, hospices, Healthwatch, the voluntary, community and social enterprise sector. Together, the partnership improves health and care of all people living across the area.
The Board is an important group for the partnership, which covers Bradford District and Craven, Calderdale, Kirklees, Leeds, and Wakefield District. It brings together elected members, executive and non-executives in one decision making process. Its work aligns to the NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board.
Board members will consider an update from the Partnership’s CEO lead, recent government policy announcements and the West Yorkshire volunteering strategy. The Partnership Board will also have discussions on two of the partnership’s 10 ambitions as set out in the West Yorkshire Integrated Care Strategy:
- · Our ambition to have a more diverse leadership; and
- · Our ambition to address the health inequality gap for children living in households with the lowest income.
Working alongside communities, the Partnership Board aims to give people their best start in life with support to stay healthy and live longer. Many factors determine whether someone leads a long and healthy life, including good housing, access to green space, and building an inclusive economy that creates more good jobs, reduces health inequalities, and promotes opportunity for all. These important factors are at the heart of the Partnership Board.
