Health and wellbeing strategy

Taunton Deane Borough Council and West Somerset Council are members of the Somerset Health and Wellbeing Board. We support the countywide Health and Wellbeing Strategy for Somerset 2013-2018 which seeks to improve the health and wellbeing of the residents, especially those communities with poorer health and quality of life. The countywide strategy focuses on 3 priorities:

• People, families and communities take responsibility for their own health and wellbeing
• Families and communities are thriving and resilient
• Somerset people are able to live independently

These priorities have been applied by the districts in:

• Taunton Deane Borough Council- Response to the Somerset Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2013-2018
• West Somerset Council’s Response to the Somerset Health and Wellbeing Strategy

If you require any of the above strategies please email housingstrategy@tauntondeane.gov.uk.
