Issue - meetings

Report by Alison McGrory - Health Improvement Principal, Argyll & Bute Health and Social Care Partnership

Consideration was given by the Group to a report which provided an update about Argyll and Bute Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) health and wellbeing activity during 2019. The progress update was in relation to Outcome 5 of Argyll and Bute’s Community Plan which aims to enable people to lead active, healthier and independent lives.

Maggie Clark, Health Improvement Lead, HSCP tabled a Living Well Strategy Summary leaflet which provided a general approach to living well via self-management.

Discussion focused on the current lack of support groups in the Cowal area for Cancer patients and how it is aimed to be addressed in the 5 year action plan and how the timings of HSPC public meetings need to consider availability of people in employment.

Decision

The Bute and Cowal Area Community Planning Group;

1.    noted the contents of the report; and

2.    agreed local actions to be delivered under the new outcome 5 actions.
