17. Transformational opportunities from local authority leadership for public health • Integrate services across health and more widely, eg • education, housing, community safety • Develop new approaches to tackling major public health • challenges – smoking, obesity, public health threats. • Greater influence on wider determinants of health – • making health and wellbeing everybody’s business • Join up different local budgets to improve VFM & health e.g. Community Budgets • More local accountability and involvement of local people in shaping services = Better services + improved outcomes

19. Case Studies Kent public health, led by councillors, is now working with the county’s ‘Mind the Gap’ programme in a real drive to change inequalities patterns in Kent. Local government and the NHS are working with one voice as each of the 12 district councils and the CCGs develop their own ‘Mind the Gap’, based on the JSNA and facilitated by the public health team. To show that the work has made a difference Kent, public health team has worked with experts to develop a single screening tool designed to measure the impact of activities on inequalities in Kent. Salford has developed a new business model for public health that involves the public health team being integrated into the intelligence, research, policy and strategy function of an Integrated Commissioning Hub which supports commissioning across the council and the clinical commissioning group (CCG). The Hub is progressing well, developing ‘proof of concept’ workstreams which support actions to tackle family poverty and integrated services for young people. The Hub’s role and operating procedures will be tested as part of this process to identify how it can work most effectively.

20. Case Studies In Haringey, the DPH’s most recent annual report took a new approach, highlighting a key public health issue – childhood obesity. The public health directorate worked with the council’s media design team to develop an engaging, easy-to understand, high impact poster to take to the wider workforce and residents. Communications staff from both the council and the NHS helped to publicise the issue through the media, including an article in the Sunday Times and an appearance by the DPH on Radio 4’s ‘You and Yours’. This provided an opportunity to present a very positive picture of what the council is doing, for example by tackling the proliferation of fast-food outlets – joint work between public health, planning and licensing. The council’s leader has now added childhood obesity and teenage pregnancy to her list of priority areas In Lancashire a programme of councillor development in relation to the health reforms and health and wellbeing has been delivered across the two tiers of local government.A network of county and district cabinet members for health and wellbeing and another network for county and district lead officers for health and wellbeing have been established and are supported by Lancashire’s joint health unit. Co-production of public health support to district councils is led by the executive director of public health for central Lancashire.

21. Case Studies In Lincolnshire each of the seven district councils has a public health lead with the aim of developing more consistent approaches to health impact assessment in planning developments that impact on health – eg access to public transport, reducing road accidents for children, increasing cycling and walking routes . Also most of the district councils have a health and wellbeing group which links to the health and wellbeing board. District councils and CCGs are now coming together for joint work, such as a joint project in East Lindsey with the British Heart Foundation, looking at reducing the incidence of coronary heart disease. Derbyshire has had senior public health staff jointly appointed between the NHSand a number of the county’s eight district councils for several years, and many other staff devote some of their time to working in specific localities. District and borough public engagement mechanisms are an important source of health intelligence. Elected members of district councils are engaged with all the local partnership arrangements for health and wellbeing and there is also a well developed (although non statutory) health scrutiny function at district/borough level looking into issues such as carers, alcohol and young people and inequalities.

22. Case Studies A system of virtual public health networks has been developed in Leicestershire. The lead district council chief executive meets quarterly with the director of public health and the director of adult social services to develop shared approaches and strong networks. A senior public health specialist is co-located with district council staff for part of each week to develop strategic and operational approaches to health improvement and a system of small grants funding is devolved to individual districts. There are member health champions in each district who meet periodically with the chair of the health and wellbeing board, CCG senior managers and the director of public health to build understanding of the potential of the new system, develop skills and knowledge and look at locality priorities and delivery. The precise mechanisms for delivery are different in each district, (for example some have local health forums and some do not) and this flexibility is inherent in the model.
