Birmingham HWB Strategy
• Massive life expectancy gap
• Lots of need, many “red” outcomes
• Focus on a small number of key issues
• System threats
• Vulnerable groups

System threats
System failure consequent to budget reductions
• Adult and Children's in the Council
• Quality Innovation Productivity and Prevention (QIPP) in the NHS
• Rise in births and life span
System failure consequent to poor external inspection
• Looked After Children

Modern Beveridge
• A small group (2%) of people who get spectacularly poor outcomes and consume high resources
• The modern “Beveridge” five: 1. Homelessness 2. Domestic Violence 3. Poor outcomes for Looked After
Children 4. Poor Mental Health 5. Substance misuse (drugs and alcohol)
Slay these new “Evils” and transform vulnerability
