The Board noted the Report from the Director of Public and Communities (CX/PH24/10) on the performance for the Board, which monitored the priorities identified in the Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy for Devon 2020-25.

 

The latest Health and Wellbeing Outcomes Report was available on the Devon Health and Wellbeing website.

 

The Report monitored the four Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2020-25 priorities, and included breakdowns by local authority, district and trends over time. These priorities areas included:

 

·          Create opportunities for all

·          Healthy safe, strong and sustainable communities

·          Focus on mental health

·          Maintain good health for all

 

Six indicators had been updated since the last report to the Board, namely:

 

Adjusted antibiotics prescribing in primary care by the NHS (per STAR-PU) (Persons) 2023

Estimated dementia diagnosis rate (Persons) 2024

Fuel poverty (low income, low energy efficiency methodology) (%) 2022

Low birth weight of term babies (%) (Persons) 2022

Population vaccination coverage – Flu (aged 65+) (%) (Persons) 2023/24

Population vaccination coverage – Flu (at risk individuals) (%) (Persons) 2023/24

 

In discussion, concern was raised at the low dementia diagnosis rates across Devon, and the Board RESOLVED that this issue be examined at a future meeting to better understand the data, working with the NHS and other stakeholders to develop a comprehensive strategy.
