Inclusive Growth Strategy - Alignment with Health and Wellbeing Strategy pdf icon PDF 71 KB

To consider the report of the Chief Officer, Leeds Health Partnerships, which provides an update on the work to review and replace the Leeds Inclusive Strategy for 2017-2023

Minutes:

The Board considered a report on the recent work to review and replace the Leeds Inclusive Growth Strategy for 2017-2023. A copy of the draft Leeds Inclusive Growth Strategy (IGS) was attached to the report as an appendix.

 

The Chief Officer, Health Partnerships, reported on a recent meeting with West Yorkshire Combined Authority. He emphasised the need for the IGS to include health and care skills based on the emerging evidence of the close links between skills and education supporting good health; and in the knowledge that the health, care and medical sectors will be one of the fastest growing.

 

Simon Brereton, LCC Economic Development Programme Leader, presented the Strategy which anticipated Leeds continued economic growth and included proposals to meet that challenge. He posed the question ‘how do we ensure it reaches all parts of the city?’ and highlighted the following issues:

·  Leeds’s jobs growth does not reach right across the jobs spectrum. There is growth in degree level qualification jobs but middle sector job numbers are declining; and there is a gap in the market which is traditionally filled with low level skill, administrative, process jobs.

·  Two thirds of the working population have not attained a level 4 qualification or above.

·  Leeds has a young population that is getting younger; and we need to ensure that they have the qualifications and skills to sustain employment. The ageing population means that we need to cater for those who have been in the job market for a long time.

·  The IGS includes ’12 Big Ideas’ to tackle the issues and targets 7 job priority sectors, including the health and medical sector and the aging population.

·  The IGS proposed measures to tackle poverty across the city – 150,000 residents live within the 10% most deprived localities in England. Although growth was predicted, a key issue would be how to ensure that growth did not contribute to a widening disparity between rich and poor in the city.

·  The IGS anticipated 80,000 new jobs by 2020, with a further 600,000 posts released through the churn of retirement or movement.

·  The concentration of low paid jobs in Universities, the health and care and education sectors was noted - despite the work done to achieve the living or minimum wage; and the reliance on these sectors to equip the city for economic growth.

·  Future changes to the city infrastructure through the HS2 rail link and anticipated doubling in size of the city centre will impact on the economy; jobs and how we travel to and from the workplace. Poverty and low pay required consideration at the Leeds City Region level. It was noted that people on low pay only travel an average of 1 mile for work – therefore jobs must be created throughout the city, closer to where people on low pay live.

 

In conclusion, a focus for the meeting was to consider the Board’s influence to challenge to bring about changes to wages and investment in order to promote economic growth and reduce  ...  view the full minutes text for item 39.

Making a breakthrough: a different approach to affect change pdf icon PDF 524 KB

To consider a joint report from the Consultant in Public Health, Executive Programme Manager, LCC Projects, Programmes and Procurement Unit, and Head of Safeguarding and Community Safety Partnership Development, LCC Safer Leeds, which provides an overview of approaches taken to address challenges relating to three determinants of health and wellbeing:

a)  supporting the inactive to become active,

b)  air quality, and

c)  domestic violence and abuse.

The report acknowledges the clear links with the priorities of the Leeds Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2016-21, and provides the Board with the opportunity to understand and discuss persistent challenges relating to these wider determinants, provide a view on what else can be done, explore and ensure links with our city’s other strategic plans (such as the Leeds Health and Care Plan, Inclusive Growth Strategy) and agree individual and collective action that can contribute to improved outcomes for people in Leeds.

Minutes:

The Board considered a joint report providing an overview of the approaches taken to address challenges relating to three Breakthrough Projects with very clear links to the priorities of the Leeds Health and Wellbeing Strategy and the wider determinants of health and wellbeing: supporting the inactive to become active, air quality, and domestic violence and abuse.

 

The report provided the Board with an opportunity to discuss and explore the challenges related to the issues; to provide a view on what else could be done to ensure links with Leeds’s other strategic plans and to consider individual or collective action that can contribute to improved outcomes for people in Leeds.

 

1. Supporting the Inactive to become Active – In presenting the report, Anna Frearson (Consultant in Public Health) and Mark Allman (Head of Sport & Active Lifestyles) encouraged discussion on:

-  How to reduce sedentary behaviour in staff as well as residents. As representatives of large employers/organisations how to encourage physical activity and/or exercise which was acknowledged as being beneficial to work and home wellbeing.

-  Meeting the challenge of what else can be done to embed support for physical activity in terms of the workplace, built environment and infrastructure

The Board acknowledged the relationship between activity, mobility, health, mental health and work and made the following comments:

·  Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust staff had responded well to health and wellbeing training, challenges, etc. and the use of sustainable travel transport schemes. Extension of the Leeds Cycleway to link St James’s and the Leeds General Infirmary was identified as an additional measure to further encourage activity.

·  A campaign of information and signposting on the location of cycle paths, walkways and bridleways was identified as a measure to increase their use; alongside information on cycle safety.

·  Recognition of the need to link to Mindful Employer measures.

·  Acknowledged that Leeds West NHS CCG was committed to factoring in physical activity in its approach to commissioning pathways of care, particularly for musculoskeletal disorders; and the commitment to build this into health coaching and Making Every Contact Count policies.

·  Recognition of concerns for the health of some health & care sector staff, particularly community health staff, who were physically inactive due to the nature of their work which required them to drive between appointments and impacted on their diet as well as their ability to be active.

·  The need to consider any cultural or behavioural issues which may prevent people from taking up physical activity and to consider how individual communities provide their own activities. It was noted that the Third Sector had a key role to play in being able to provide information on what is provided throughout Leeds own communities.

·  The role of education – through schools, health visitors and parents to encourage physical activity.

·  Whether ‘physical activity’ could be promoted through; and encourage wider involvement in; the Leeds Health & Care Plan, noting that any campaign would need to be sustainable with a long term commitment

The Board noted the intention for further discussions between  ...  view the full minutes text for item 40.
