Public health - joint Local Health and Wellbeing Strategies Duty
- Description
- Where a local authority receives an integrated care strategy under section 116ZB(7)(b) of the Act, the responsible local authority must prepare a strategy ("a joint local health and wellbeing strategy") setting out how the assessed needs in relation to the responsible local authority's area are to be met if required.
In preparing a strategy the local authority must, in particular, consider the extent to which the assessed needs could be met more effectively by the making of arrangements under section 75 of the National Health Service Act 2006.
When preparing a strategy under this section, the local authority must have regard to the integrated care strategy prepared under section 116ZB, the mandate published by the Secretary of State under section 13A of the National Health Service Act 2006, any guidance issued by the Secretary of State; and must involve the Local Healthwatch organisation for the area of the local authority, and involve the people who live or work in that area.
The local authority must publish each strategy prepared by it under this section.
