The West Berkshire Health and Wellbeing Board
The Health and Social Care Act 2012 established Health and Wellbeing Boards as a forum where key leaders from the health and care system work together to improve the health and wellbeing of their local population and reduce health inequalities.
The West Berkshire Health and Wellbeing Board is committed to improving health and wellbeing of the population across the district, through the development of improved and integrated health and social care services. This includes overseeing the preparation of the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) with the relevant Clinical Commissioning Group and approving the Health and Wellbeing Strategy.
