Robin Poole was present and with the consent of the Chair addressed the meeting. The Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment report will form the basis of a 60-day statutory consultation. The main finding of the report is that the number, distribution and choice of pharmaceutical services meet the current and future needs of the population, therefore no identified need for improvements or better access to pharmaceutical services are identified.
RESOLVED that the draft of the Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment be approved for consultation.

With the consent of the Chair Robin Poole addressed the meeting and set out the issues within the report.
Board Members discussed the various pressures within the City on the health of its residents including those issues relating to climate change, pollution and culturally.
Members expressed a concern that evidence used to underpin the report should be properly reflective of the communities it relates to and that consultations should be properly advertised and representative.
The Board explored the provision of leisure activities across the City especially to encourage teenage females to participate in sport. The Board also discussed the importance of encouraging citizens to move to public transport, walking or cycling and noted the importance of encouraging an active City.
RESOLVED: that the Board noted the contents of this paper and the Health Protection Annual Report (Appendix 1).

- Document Appendix 1 - DPH Annual Report 02 Dec 2024
The Board discussed how important and more effective it was that the citizens were involved in developing strategies and practices in their own area to sustainably drive forward health improvement in the community.
RESOLVED that the Board Members noted the contents of the annual report, particularly the 4 recommendations seeking to:
· Identify strengths and enable communities to take control
· Build support around families, communities and neighbourhoods, not professions and focus on prevention and early intervention
· Prioritise communities with poorer health outcomes to reduce health inequalities and assess the impact of a community-centred approach; and
· Shift mindsets to embed a different relationship between communities and organisations.
