That the Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy be updated incorporating those themes outlined in paragraphs 5 & 6 of the report now submitted where the Board could have greatest impact with the final version being presented to the next meeting of the Central Bedfordshire Shadow Health and Wellbeing Board to be held in January 2013.
