West Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership’s Partnership Board (WY HCP) will meet in public on Tuesday 22 October 2024 at 1:30pm. The meeting will be held online via video conference.
The meeting will also be livestreamed from wypartnership.co.uk with the recording available on the website after the meeting. The meeting will be Chaired by Cllr Tim Swift, Deputy Leader of Calderdale Council and Chair of Calderdale Health and Wellbeing Board.
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, an update on the development of a Local Transport Plan for West Yorkshire and an update on the development of the Equity, Diversity and Social Justice 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 reduce stillbirths, neonatal deaths, brain injuries and maternal mortality; and
- Our ambition to strengthen the local economy.
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.
The Board meets in public every three months and gives people the opportunity to ask questions and have their say. Members of the public will be able to ask a question at the start of the meeting. All questions submitted will receive a written response after the meeting and will be published on the partnership’s website.
Members of the public are asked to email their questions to westyorkshireics.governance@nhs.net before 1:30pm Monday 21 October 2024 - highlighting the agenda question to be asked at the Board. People can also call 01924 317659 to submit questions.
