Peak District National Park: National Parks Supporting Health and Wellbeing for All (SW)

Minutes:

Sarah Wilks, Head of Engagement, gave a presentation on the report which gave details of the work of the National Parks England’s Supporting Health and Wellbeing task and finish group.  The task and finish group had now become the Health and Wellbeing Strategic Steering Group.  She highlighted opportunities and challenges for the Authority including partnership working. 

 

Members queried recommendation 2 and asked that it be made clearer. 

 

Members welcomed and praised the report but expressed concern over how actions could be implemented.  Partnership working would be needed and discussions with Councils within the National Park may be useful.

 

The Head of Engagement noted Members’ comments and the need for partnership working and resources.

 

11.14 Cllr D Chapman left the meeting.

 

 It was noted that the audience plan would be made clearer within the next 2 months and that some actions were already being progressed.  Members would be kept up to date via further reports.

 

The recommendation with an amended recommendation 2 was moved and seconded.  The motion was put to the vote and carried.

 

RESOLVED:

 

1.    To confirm support for the universal offer and action plan around prevent, restore, excel and the Peak District National Park Authority following this template to focus health and wellbeing actions. 

 

2.    To support further national advocacy through National Parks England to align the NHS 10- year plan with the National Parks England offer as set out in the report.

 

3.    To consider what the next steps for Members might be to build and develop support for health and wellbeing work in the Peak District National Park.
