Cllr Anne-Marie Sonko, Portfolio Holder for Adult Social Care and Health said: “Together with our health partners, we are inviting you to share your views on health and wellbeing in Warwickshire. As our county continues to grow and evolve, your voice is important to help us develop future services, turn our priorities into action, and ensure that Warwickshire is a place where everyone can lead happier, healthier, and more independent lives.”
As Warwickshire experiences population growth and an ageing demographic, the demand for health and care services is increasing. The strategy aims to address these challenges by focusing on prevention, community wellbeing, and tackling the wider factors that influence health such as housing, education, employment, and the environment.
A draft of the strategy has been developed using insights from the Joint Strategic Needs Assessments (JSNA), the Director of Public Health’s Annual Report 2024, and feedback from three county-wide workshops. It outlines key areas for action to improve health outcomes and reduce inequalities, ensuring that everyone in Warwickshire has the best chance to thrive.
The strategy is produced by The Warwickshire Health and Wellbeing Board, which consists of representatives from Warwickshire County Council, Warwickshire’s district and borough councils, NHS organisations, and Healthwatch Warwickshire. As a collective they are responsible for the creation of the strategy, identifying what will need to be delivered over the next five years and how they will work together to achieve this.
