London Health Improvement Board - London Health Improvement Board

Welcome to the new partnership for health in London

The 'shadow' London Health Improvement Board (LHIB) has been established and held its first meeting, chaired by the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson in July 2011. The shadow board demonstrates our commitment to work in partnership to improve the health of all Londoners and reduce inequalities in health outcomes. It provides a unique opportunity to complement health improvement work delivered at a local level through the initiation of pan-London approaches where these will provide added value or benefit

First meetings held

The shadow Board has now held three meetings, which included London Councils, the NHS and the Greater London Authority (GLA). The meetings aimed to develop a work programme and agree ways of operating the shadow Board going forward.

The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, is leading the newly created LHIB which includes representatives from NHS London and the capital’s 33 local authorities.
