To approve and sign the minutes of the last meeting of the Health and Wellbeing Board held on Wednesday, 21 January 2026.

This report summarises discussions at a recently held workshop for the Health and Wellbeing Board, facilitated by the Local Government Association (LGA), the purpose of which was to develop the work of the Board and enable it to become more effective.

The report also proposes a series of changes to the way the board operates, emerging from those discussions, to be agreed by members at today’s meeting.

These respectively share feedback received about how changes to non-emergency patient transport, following the tightening of eligibility criteria in April 2025, have affected people across York and North Yorkshire and an exploration into whether reports of poor experiences in accessing local healthcare services from some trans, non-binary and intersex (TNBI) people in York, shared with Healthwatch, were common for this community.

This report provides an update to the Health and Wellbeing Board (HWBB) regarding the work of the York Health and Care Partnership (YHCP).

The report also asks the Health and Wellbeing Board to respond to a recommendation in relation to Section 10.

Any other business which the Chair considers urgent under the Local Government Act 1972.
