While North Hants CCG covers the majority of the borough, the population in some parts is covered by West Hants CCG, Newbury and District CCG or North and West Reading CCG. The outcomes described in this Shared Plan are outcomes for the whole borough to be achieved through improved collaborative working among all relevant partners and agencies, including the relevant CCGs. We aim to: • influence behaviour and environments to improve health and wellbeing • reduce health inequalities among the population of Basingstoke and Deane by improving access to information and support among those at risk of highest levels of mortality and chronic illness • address local health and wellbeing priorities identified through evidence of need in Basingstoke and Deane • encourage innovative ways of partnership working • focus on projects where partnership working adds value and which are not the sole responsibility of one organisation The partners have agreed to place the key principles of the Basingstoke Area Strategic Partnership (BASP) at the heart of the work of the Partnership, with a particular drive to build strong relationships and common purpose. - 4 - About the Shared Plan for Health and Wellbeing It is recognised that there are many factors that influence an individual’s health and sense of wellbeing – those personal and social factors that affect how we feel about where we live and what we can do. ‘Personal well-being describes people’s experiences of their positive and negative emotions, satisfaction, vitality, resilience, self-esteem and sense of purpose and meaning. Social well-being is made up of two main components: supportive relationships, and a feeling of trust and belonging. Together they form a picture of what we all really want: a fulfilling and happy life.’ (New Economics Foundation) The ways in which society protects public health, provides housing, prevents crime and disorder, manages neighbourhoods, raises aspirations and education attainment, empowers communities, cares for the environment, promotes economic development and plans for future growth all play an equally important role in determining whether an individual is content with life. The Partnership will be an advocate to encourage the consideration of health outcomes as an integral part of delivering services in these areas. The Shared Plan for Health and Wellbeing focusses on health improvement through community based activity. It is intended to be mainly delivered by primary and secondary health care providers, the local authorities at county and borough level delivering statutory and discretionary health provision and the broad range of voluntary sector organisations providing health and social support services, working with relevant communities. From a resident’s perspective, the main priority is to have the right level of opportunity, information, choice, care, treatment or intensive support according to their need, regardless of who provides the service. This includes the need for individuals to take greater personal responsibility for managing their own health and for community networks to offer a greater degree of social support to encourage self-help. To achieve this, the different providers of services need to understand what each other offers and how a resident can access the relevant support at the time they need it. Partners of the Basingstoke Area Strategic Partnership have committed to a Neighbourhood Renewal Strategy which aims to ensure that by 2025 no-one living in Basingstoke and Deane is disadvantaged by where they live, and the borough council has set out a four year council plan 2013- 2017 which includes as one of its priorities ‘Supporting active, healthy and involved communities’. This Plan, endorsed by the Basingstoke Area Strategic Partnership, will help to achieve these objectives. - 5 - Challenges and Priorities for Basingstoke and Deane The Hampshire Joint Strategic Needs Assessment and local health and demographic profiles provide information on a range of health conditions among residents across the county. Health in Basingstoke and Deane is generally better than the England average and efforts need to be sustained to ensure this continues. The Health and Wellbeing Partnership has also drawn from this data a range of key characteristics which present particular challenges for the borough: • There are a number of conditions where rates in Basingstoke and Deane are generally worse than the Hampshire average: Obesity in children (Year 6) Teenage conceptions Hospital stays for self-harm Prevalence of binge drinking Death rates from lung disease linked to smoking Adult obesity Hospital admissions for diabetes Hospital admissions for knee replacements Mortality from cardio-vascular disease • Basingstoke and Deane will experience a rapid rate of growth among the over 65s. • There is a significant difference in the prevalence of life limiting conditions between the areas of lowest and highest indices of deprivation, leading to life expectancy being 5.5 years lower for men and 4.4 years lower for women in the most deprived areas than in the least deprived. Having assessed this information and sought views from other key stakeholders through conference feedback and workshops, the Basingstoke and Deane Health and Wellbeing Partnership has identified six priorities. These set out what needs to be addressed in the borough and the ways in which the collective effort of all agencies and organisations that have an impact on health improvement are encouraged to work. Achieving these outcomes is not the sole the responsibility of the Health and Wellbeing Partnership. Priority health improvement outcomes for Basingstoke and Deane What: 1. Reduce lifestyle driven premature deaths, illness and disability 2.

An action plan for the Health and Wellbeing Partnership will accompany this Shared Plan.
