Agenda item

 Mayor Rees, welcomed the new board members and extended thanks to the outgoing members for their participation and valued contribution to the outcomes of the Board.  He shared that he viewed the newly formatted board as a forum that will allow partners engaged in supporting the wellbeing of Bristol residents and those dealing with acute services to come together.  That there currently existed many measures and boards across all partner organisations but in order for them to serve the City in a coherent manner a City Governance plan was needed.  The One City Plan will provide this governance. 

Sam Mongon, Programme Manager (Bristol Community Health CIC) was invited to give an overview of the ‘HWB Review & draft Governance Framework’.

·        Clarity was sought on the replacement of the GP’s with a new primary care representative.  Assurances were given that at the conclusion of the CCG review that someone would be proposed.

Victoria Bleazard, Bristol Public Health & City Office, Programme Manager provided an overview of the objectives of the City Plan highlighting the work to be done on the 19^th March 2018.  The One City Plan is intentional in its aspiration to define how the City should be described.  The plan would direct others, other authorities or bodies or developers, how they should view the City’s aspiration.

New Board members shared their organisation future plans, visions & aspirations.  In addition input was welcomed on the key priorities of the City Plan that aligned with the Boards.

The following was noted from the discussion that followed:

a.      Cllr Godwin welcomed the new members acknowledging the enhanced added value to the Board’s influence that will result from partnership working.  The work that is required for the City wellbeing is best done by all partner agencies together with the City Council.
