Issue - meetings

As detailed in the recommendations.

The Chief Executive introduced the Flintshire Public Services Board (PSB) Review and Well-being Plan Development report which provided an overview of the work of the Flintshire PSB to date and the development of the Well-being Plan.  The report also provided a brief overview of the strategic partnerships which reported into the PSB.

            The high level aim of the PSB was to “protect, sustain and improve the economic, social, environmental and cultural well-being of Flintshire through collaborative working as a single public service”.  A Well-being assessment for Flintshire had been produced and published in line with statutory requirements and presented a contemporary picture of life and well-being in Flintshire.  Progress updates were outlined in the report.

            The Flintshire PSB had selected and endorsed five themes which had a number of priorities:

1.    Theme: Well-being and Independent Living;

2.    Theme: Community Safety;

3.    Theme: Resilient Communities;

4.    Economy and Skills; and

5.    Environment.

A 12 week consultation period commenced in October 2017 and would conclude at the end of January 2018.  The public engagement events would form part of the statutory public consultation.  The Plan would be submitted to Corporate Resources Overview and Scrutiny Committee seeking support and to Cabinet for endorsement of the structure and content.  The Plan would also be presented to the other statutory bodies of the PSB for endorsement.

RESOLVED:

(a)       That Members be assured on the level of progress the Flintshire Public Services Board (PSB) has made to date;

(b)       That the PSB themes/priorities for the Well-being Plan be supported;

(c)        That the level of progress of the various strategic partnerships be supported; and

(d)       That the next steps outlined in the report and the timeframe around delivery be noted.
