A key East Sussex Health and Wellbeing Board (HWB) deliverable in the joint Shared Delivery Plan (SDP) for the year 2 (2024/25) refresh is as follows:

“We will strengthen the focus and role of the Health and Wellbeing Board and the East Sussex Health and Care Partnership by strategically aligning partnerships and working to support our shared priorities for delivering a joined-up offer for health, care and wellbeing, including prevention, across NHS, local government and VCSE sector services for our population.

We will develop proposals for the Health and Wellbeing Board (HWB) to phase in during 2024/25, focussed on the Joint Strategic Needs Assessments (JSNAs) and needs and assets in East Sussex”.

It was agreed to hold a programme of 7 informal ‘deep-dive’ sessions at quarterly intervals prior to the formal HWB meetings up until February 2026, structured around the priority themes in the East Sussex JSNA. These briefing notes set out the outcomes and key messages from those sessions.
