Health & Well Being

The Local Government White Paper ‘Strong and Prosperous Communities’ was published in October 2006 and gave a clear indication that health and well-being partnership arrangements should be established in England. Discussion at the Oxfordshire Partnership Steering Group and the Public Service Board led to the establishment of the Health and Well-Being Partnership Board in Oxfordshire by September 2007.

The partnership aims to enable key commissioners and users of adult health, care and well-being services to:

• agree priority outcomes for health and well-being in Oxfordshire,
• promote action across partner agencies in planning and commissioning services for health improvement,
• monitor delivery of these actions, assess effectiveness and review priorities as part of the commissioning cycle.
 
Members include Oxfordshire PCT, local authorities, Public and Patient Involvement Forum representation, voluntary sector representation, and user representatives – mental health, learning disabilities, older people, adults with physical disabilities.
