Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy
Councils are advancing integrated health service delivery and economic development initiatives under their Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategies.
Ealing Council is progressing integrated health and wellbeing services, with its cabinet approving a new Section 75 Partnership Agreement with NHS North West London Integrated Care Board in November 2025. This agreement allows for pooling resources and delegating functions to enhance service delivery for adults and children, marking a step towards integrated commissioning of health, social care, and education services.
In Southwark, the Health and Wellbeing Board received an update in December 2025 on the SC1 London Life Sciences Innovation District. This initiative aims to create 20,000 high-quality jobs in the life sciences sector by 2030, fostering innovation and partnerships to improve community health. SC1 is a collaboration between King's College London, NHS Trusts, and other partners.
Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategies are policies outlining health and wellbeing priorities for local communities. These strategies often focus on areas such as preventing age-related ill health, promoting healthy weight, and ensuring residents are staying healthy, safe, and well, guiding local councils' efforts to improve public health.
