Minutes
The Chairman made the following announcements:
Hampshire Public Health Strategy Refresh - for our people and communities
The Public Health Team aimed to refresh Hampshire’s Public Health Strategy, with completion planned for the autumn. The Board’s organisations continued to play an important role in improving health and wellbeing across the county. The refreshed strategy would continue to reflect shared priorities and ambitions for a healthier Hampshire.
This matters because the latest data tells us that males in Hampshire spend an average of 14.5 years in poor health and females around 18.3 years, with the greatest burden falling on our most deprived communities. Much of this is preventable and public health action can make a real difference.
The updated strategy will set out a clear vision focused on prevention, tackling the causes of ill health, supporting healthy behaviours and protecting our population from health threats. By creating the conditions for healthier places and communities, we aim to support a stronger workforce, economic prosperity, and fairer outcomes for all.
Engagement continued through the Hampshire Health and Wellbeing Board and wider partnerships as the work progressed.
The aim to deliver a strategy that made a real difference to the health of Hampshire’s communities. Officers were on hand to provide more information.
A number of papers received related to working together included Neighbourhood working and Best Start Hubs. Both papers demonstrated the need to work with and for the populations served. Whilst the term “Hubs” was set, in the second paper, this was really about the way of working rather than necessarily a building which could restrict thinking. The programmes could help with transformation work from an NHS focuse on sickness to a wellness model.

- Document March 2026 HWB Report - Integrated neighbourhoods and communities 04 Mar 2026
Minutes
The Chairman invited the Director of Public Health and the Director of Partnerships, Hampshire ICB to present their report and update on the emerging approach for Hampshire. The Board heard and supported the approach and methodology for agreeing neighbourhood geographies, alongside delegated sign off of specific geographies to the Director of Public Health and Director of Partnership Hampshire and Isle of Wight ICB. A draft term of reference (ToRs) for local neighbourhood groups was shared.
Partners explored how they could support the programme, e.g., local policing sharing their definition of neighbourhoods with the potential to align this work; recognising that health and crime are connected, mental health and social care would also need to be considered; research opportunities would support any reflections, with data collections and subsequent sharing of data to support any health improvements.
During the discussion the Board agreed the following actions for officers to consider and deliver.
Integrated neighbourhoods and communities would report back to the Board in October. Work would continue to focus on developing a proposed governance framework to build on the principle that the local authority Health and Wellbeing Partnership is the main forum to convene the range of partners needed for this work. This includes proposed Terms of Reference for local groups to use to enable the work to take place and formally connect with the Hampshire Health and Wellbeing Board. Hampshire CC and HIOW ICB to host another Hampshire wide seminar in April with a view that by the autumn neighbourhood geographies can be finalised following engagement with partners and citizens

Director of Public Health Annual Report - Lets Call Time on Alcohol Harm: Small Changes, Big Difference
To receive the report of the Director of Public Health.

- Document 2026-03 HWB - Director of Public Health Annual Report - Let's Call Time on Alcohol Harm 04 Mar 2026
- Document DPHAR Health and Wellbeing Board March 2026 04 Mar 2026
Minutes
The Director of Public Health shared his annual report with the Board which focused on raising awareness of alcohol harm and the reduction of barriers to accessing treatment and support.
The annual report as a statutory independent document was a legal requirement to be published by the Director of Public Health and could highlight issues even where perspectives differ from other council priorities. The focus this year was on alcohol harm under the title: “Call Time on Alcohol Harm – Small Changes, Big Difference.”
The known significant public health risks associated with alcohol were explained, patterns of alcohol consumption, the health, social and economic impacts. Actions already taken included areas for improvement and system?wide recommendations. Key points discussed around alcohol consumption trends, rising alcohol consumption in some groups, particularly following COVID?19. Changes in patterns by age, with younger adults drinking less overall and stress featuring as a major driver of increased consumption.
Known impacts linked to alcohol included over 4% of cancers, rising liver disease, mental health problems, injuries and safeguarding risks. Around 24% of Hampshire adults were drinking at higher?risk levels with an estimated 11,000 people in Hampshire recorded as alcohol dependent.
There was recognition of the situation that many people had for years managed their addiction without clinician intervention or raising concern, the report included examples where alcohol issues were not identified until very late. There had been an increase in numbers accessing treatment (an additional 1,000 in the past year). The launch of “Rethink Your Drink”, enabling individuals to self?assess online.
Development of specialist alcohol teams within hospitals enabled high?quality adult and young?people’s alcohol treatment services, plus support for families.
Progress on integrating mental health and alcohol support (“no wrong door”). And the prevention and education improvements in schools were also highlighted.
It was anticipated that all professionals received training to initiate conversations about alcohol, a strengthening of specialist alcohol teams in hospitals. Better integration of alcohol and mental health support. Continued expansion of treatment access and peer support. Stronger focus on licensing decisions within district councils.
The public call for action included the need for small changes by individuals, professionals and communities which proved to significantly reduce harm and alcohol teams in hospitals were set to continue previously funded by HCC now recognised as a health responsibility. “Be brave, be kind, be the difference.”
The Board discussed future plans which included:
Board members and their organisations to improve public information on how to access support and treatment and enhancing the visibility and accessibility of alcohol treatment and support services Board Members to support frontline staff to identify and respond to the early signs of alcohol harm, including integrating alcohol screening across frontline services, routine checks and brief interventions across the system including primary care, mental health, housing and social care and timely referrals Working together to reduce stigma around alcohol use, using trauma informed approaches, involving people with lived experience and raising public awareness to support recovery and inclusion
The Health and Wellbeing Board RESOLVED to:
Note the Annual Report of the Director of Public Health 2025-2026 – Let’s Call Time on Alcohol Harm and endorse the ambitions within the Annual Report which are to work together and take action to raise awareness of alcohol harm and reduce barriers to accessing treatment and support by:
- Embedding prevention and early intervention across the system; strengthening alcohol education in schools, workplaces and communities, and equipping frontline professionals to identify and respond to early signs of alcohol harm, which includes referral to specialist digital brief intervention support
- Enhancing visibility and accessibility of alcohol treatment and support services; improving public information on how to access support and treatment, ensuring services are inclusive and trauma informed.
- Integrating alcohol screening across frontline services; embedding routine checks and brief interventions in settings like primary care, mental health, housing and social care, to support better conversations and timely referrals to treatment.
- Reducing availability and affordability of alcohol in high-harm areas, through smarter licensing and policy and
- Working together across the system to reduce stigma around alcohol use; promoting respectful language, training staff in trauma-informed approaches, involving people with lived experience, and raising public awareness to support recovery and inclusion.
