Legal implications: 12/01972
Equalities implications: The production of a Health and Wellbeing Strategy will be a statutory requirement on the Kent Health and Wellbeing Board which moves out of shadow period and acquires full statutory basis in April 2013. The priorities and outcomes identified in the Health and Wellbeing Strategy must be reflected in health and social care commissioning plans produced by KCC and the new NHS Clinical Commissioning Groups. Approving a Kent Health and Wellbeing Strategy in December will allow commissioners to reflect its priorities in commissioning plans being developed for financial year 2013/14.
