This Board is established as a shadow board in anticipation of the Health and Social Care Act 2012 coming into force. The Health and Wellbeing Board (“the H&W Board”) in its shadow form is responsible for advising the Council, the Sussex Primary Care Trust Board (“SPCT Board”) and the Clinical Commissioning Group (“CC Group”) on work to improve the health and wellbeing of the population of Brighton & Hove through the development of improved and integrated health and social care services.  In particular it will be responsible for preparing a Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy and a Joint Strategic Needs Assessment. The H&W Board’s procedures are similar to those of Council Committees, with modifications to reflect its purpose, composition and shadow status.

The H&W Board comprises 7 Councillors and 7 further members determined having regard to the requirements of the Health and Social Care Act 2012.
