The report of the Leeds Health and Wellbeing Board summarised that Leeds has an ambition to be the best place to train and work in at any age. We have a health and care workforce that is highly motivated, creative and caring, working together to deliver high-quality care and improve health outcomes in Leeds. A key part of achieving this ambition is creating ‘an inclusive, valued and well-trained workforce’. This is highlighted as one of the 12 priorities in the Leeds Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2023-2030.

The report of Synergi-Leeds Partnership outlines that the partership is an innovative and ambitious citywide approach focused on addressing ethnic inequalities in mental health. The partnership is jointly led by Leeds and York Partnership Foundation Trust (LYPFT) and Public Health in Leeds City Council (LCC), and the core programmes are delivered and supported by colleagues in LYPFT, LCC, Volition and Leeds Involving People. The expanding network or ‘community of practice’ of statutory and voluntary sector organisations plays a vital role in advancing the priorities outlined in the Leeds All-Age Mental Health Strategy and specifically in ‘reducing the over representation of people from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities admitted in crisis’.

The report of Leeds Migrant Health Board outlines that this is the second Annual Report of the Leeds Migrant Health Board (LMHB). The report describes work by the Board and its members to address the health needs of migrants in 2023-24 and presents recommendations for future work by partners and the wider health and care system.

The report of Chief Officer, Consultant/Public Health outlines that the Health and Social Care Act 2012 transferred responsibility for the development and updating of Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNAs) to Health and Wellbeing Boards (HWBs), becoming effective from 1st April 2013.

To note the date and time of the next meeting as Thursday the 20^th of March 2025 at 1:00pm.
