Health and Wellbeing Delivery Partnership

We understand that there are a number of issues that have direct effects on the overall health and wellbeing of Hull residents.

In order to improve residents’ health and wellbeing, a combination of physical and mental health and wellbeing factors must be addressed. Therefore in addition to physical and mental health services, the environment in which residents live must be of a high standard which means improving homes, schools, local services and public transport, reducing crime the fear of crime and antisocial behaviour, and promoting healthy living.

This is the objective of the Health and Wellbeing Strategic Delivery Partnership (SDP) of ONE HULL, which is working towards improving the quality of life for local people and encouraging people to make positive informed decisions and choices about their lifestyles.

The Health and Wellbeing SDP is responsible for the following areas and focuses its resources on delivering improvements in:

More specifically, resources are focussed on delivering improvement targets which are set and agreed with government in Hull’s Local Area Agreement 2 (LAA2).

Health and Wellbeing indicators in Hull’s second Local Area Agreement are:

By achieving these health and wellbeing aims along with the rest of the Sustainable Community Strategy we will make Hull an attractive place to live, increase the quality of housing, reduce crime and the fear of crime and improve the environment of the City’s neighbourhoods. We will improve people’s physical health, reduce the number of people who smoke or are obese, and help to build inclusive communities.

The work of the Health and Wellbeing SDP does not stand in isolation.  It is only one part of the overall ONE HULL Vision.  In addition, there are three other SDPs whose remits are to deliver the economic, crime reduction and children and young people’s aims and objectives of the Sustainable Community Strategy.

We recognise the importance that no-one must be excluded or treated unfairly because of where they live, their race, age, sex, religion, sexuality or disability. The Partnership also recognises that carrying out our work will ultimately have an impact on the City’s cultural offering, particularly through physical regeneration, and also affect resident’s lifestyles and choices. We are committed to ensuring that our work does not impact negatively on the environment and that the implications of our work – regarding climate change issues - are considered.

We aim to make the City safer and stronger where there is less crime and to reduce the number of people living in fear of crime.  We aim to make a City where people have a choice of good quality, affordable housing where every home meets the Decent Homes Strategy by 2010, a City with a quality living environment and whose residents are healthy, productive and most importantly feel well in themselves.  We also want to make Hull a healthier City and will do this by addressing issues such as coronary heart disease, smoking and tackling Hull’s high rate of teenage pregnancy.

Everyone is entitled to a good quality of life, regardless of their background. Local people want to live in an understanding City where they are empowered to make choices in a society where a rich diversity of cultures is seen as an asset.

We are committed to developing the full potential of the City and its people, addressing inequality and promoting social inclusion. Through the delivery of the Sustainable Community Strategy, we will actively promote diversity and the benefits diversity brings. We will also seek to ensure that Hull is recognised nationally as best practice in relation to equalities and diversity work.
