The Board received and noted the report oft eh Cabinet Member for Adults, Health and Housing detailing the Southampton “We can be Active” Strategy progress report and the swot analysis detailed in the appendix of the report.

The Board noted that since the report had been written Government had released their “Get Active” Strategy and established a cross Government Task Force to oversee its delivery.  It was noted that there would be no additional funding for leisure utilities nationally.

The Committee made the following comments on the swot analysis and noted that Dr Sarah Young and Terry Clark had agreed to pick up with health leads as part of the continual improvement process on the action plan for the strategy and in co-production with the Physical Activity Alliance: -

·  Links with health and care and involvement of mental health opportunities which was an area still to be grown.

·  Need for community discussions around the issue of public toilets as this often made it mor difficult in getting older generations moving.
