A Statutory duty of Health and Wellbeing Boards (HWBB) is to develop a Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy (JHWBS) for the local population.

This plan sets out the long-term vision for Shropshire, identifies the immediate priority areas for action and describes how the board intends to address these.
