We asked

We asked you to express your views on the draft Health and Wellbeing Strategy and its principles and ambitions through a survey and 16 engagement sessions across Kensington and Chelsea and Westminster boroughs

You said

  • Almost two-thirds of survey respondents agree with the Principles proposed in the Strategy draft.
  • Almost three-quarters of survey respondents agree with the ten Ambitions proposed
  • Survey respondents thought that the approach outlined in the Strategy will not adversely affect certain groups more than others.
  • During the engagement sessions, attendees expressed some positive thoughts around the Ambitions but they underlined missing areas or areas of improvement such as: SEND needs, poor housing, health education, mental health, seldom heard, digital exclusion and healthcare system efficiency.
  • Also, we heard attendees of the engagement sessions expressing particular interest on inclusion of seldom heard through extra support (digital inclusion etc.)
     
    Responses were analysed to inform and reflect your views in the Strategy delivery.

We did

The Board is responsible for understanding and improving the health and wellbeing of residents in our boroughs. We are committed to reducing health inequalities through integrated working.

Why your views matter

The Health and Wellbeing Board is keen to hear your views to ensure that all our communities can influence the strategy.  Health inequalities affect different groups in different ways. The only way we can work towards reducing health inequalities is by making sure everyone’s views are heard.  

We are also under a legal obligation to involve the people who live or work in our areas when developing a health and wellbeing strategy.
