Wigan Borough's joint health and wellbeing strategy was created by Wigan Council and Wigan Borough Clinical Commissioning Group via the Health and Wellbeing Board.
The aim of the Health and Wellbeing Board is to make real difference to improving the health and wellbeing of the people of Wigan Borough. This means taking action that will deliver practical improvements and change that residents can perceive and appreciate and that narrows the health inequalities gap. The Board will focus on wellbeing, prevention and social economic issues that impact on people's lives. The Board will need to identify needs and understand the Wigan Borough story and residents' experiences. This programme of work should help to improve the health economy and rebalance systems.
