Improving health and wellbeing in Shropshire – public and stakeholders urged to give their views

A consultation has been launched to gather views on the Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy for Shropshire.

The strategy explains the identified health priorities based on local evidence and data and describes how the board will work together to action these priorities.

The consultation process starts with two versions of a short online survey. People can respond as a member of the public or a stakeholder.

Councillor Dean Carroll, Chair of the Shropshire Health and Wellbeing Board said:

Although the strategy has been drafted using sound evidence base and in-depth discussions with Health and Wellbeing Board members, the views of Shropshire people and organisations who work with Shropshire people, are an essential part of creating the final strategy.

I would encourage anyone to complete the survey which should take no more than 10 minutes to fill out. We want to create opportunities to improve health and wellbeing for all residents and communities in Shropshire, while reducing inequalities in health.

Further information including links to both surveys and the draft strategy can be found here.

The final strategy will be based on feedback received from Shropshire people and stakeholders.
