Legal Terms – Health and Wellbeing Boards
Established in April 2013 as part of major NHS reforms, these boards operate within upper-tier local authorities in England. Their role is to provide a collaborative platform where representatives from the NHS, local government, and social care agencies can plan health and social care services jointly.
Their objectives include:
- Enhancing democratic involvement in decisions affecting community health.
- Promoting integration between health, public health, and social care systems.
- Encouraging coordinated commissioning of local services for efficiency and improved outcomes
