Minutes:

Consideration was given to a report which described the proposals for the development of an Integrated Wellness Service (Yor-Wellbeing Service).

The Executive Member noted that the aim of the Service was to provide a ‘one stop shop’, which would bring together sport and physical activity initiatives, the stop smoking services and healthchecks. Officers confirmed that by bringing the sport and active leisure staffing structure into the public health directorate, it would help to promote a personalised approach showing how people could have physically active lives. Officers informed the Executive Member that the Service would also look to harness the voluntary sector work, to increase community capacity.

Officers also confirmed that links were being developed with the City and Environmental Services Directorate in regards to how the city’s infrastructure could be beneficial for the wellbeing of the city’s residents.
