Resolved that the Minutes of the Swansea Public Services Board held on 12 October 2023 be approved as a correct record.
There were no public questions.
Ness Young, Swansea Council submitted a report to outline progress made in meeting the actions and associated milestones contained within the PSB Well-being Action Plan for 2023/24 as at quarter 3 2023/24 which were outlined in Appendix A. The Strategic Leads provided a verbal update for each of the 8 steps. Resolved that The Board notes the progress made in quarter 3 of 2023-24 and agrees to receive an update report on the action plan and its progress as a standing item at future PSB meetings.
Jennifer Davies, Public Health Wales provided a verbal report on the Shaping Places for Well-being in Wales Programme. She explained that in partnership with Executive Directors of Public Health across Wales and their teams, Public Health Wales had been successful in securing three years’ funding from the Health Foundation Shaping Places grant funding programme. Shaping Places focused on local governments and local partners taking system-wide action on the wider determinants of health and programmes and had already been established in England and Scotland. She stated that the main ask at this stage was twofold: · A registration of interest in being involved (as a PSB) and receiving the support offered through this national programme in developing our system leadership capabilities in support of wellbeing of our population; · Consideration of what themes / areas we would most benefit from working through/developing using this programme support – these could be those indicated or alternatives. Resolved that further details of the scheme be forwarded to partners by email for further consideration.
The latest letter from the Chair of the Scrutiny Programme Committee was presented for Information. It was noted that the letter was far more positive due to the work undertaken by the partners since the previous letter had been received.
The Future work plan was noted subject to the removal of the Area Planning Board Annual Report as this now came under the governance arrangements of the Joint Swansea & Neath Port Talbot Public Services Board.
Councillors must say when they have a personal link to something being discussed, such as a job, a property or a family member. A prejudicial interest is one strong enough that the councillor usually leaves the room and takes no part.
Declarations are read from the minutes once they are published.
