cultural well-being in Neath Port Talbot and was published by the Public Services Board on 2nd May 2017 (available ). The assessment was informed by extensive engagement and survey work with residents and stakeholders, and consideration of relevant information such as existing data, evidence and research. The published assessment captures the strengths and assets of people and communities across Neath Port Talbot and describes the challenges and opportunities Neath Port Talbot faces now and into the future. The second piece of work required by the Act is the preparation and publication of this Well-being Plan. The Plan must set out how we intend to improve the economic, social, environmental and cultural well-being of Neath Port Talbot by setting local well-being objectives which will maximise our contribution made to achieving the seven being goals outlined earlier. The Well-being Assessment identified 75 issues for the Board to consider when developing its well-being objectives for inclusion in this plan. At a workshop in June 2017, the Board undertook a series of prioritisation exercises which drew out key themes: Physical health physical activity, life expectancy and chronic conditions; – Mental and emotional health mental ill health, bereavement and suicide; – Crime and community safety recorded crime, cyber-crime and drug offences; – Employment sustainability of large scale employers, inequality in earnings and public spending cuts; – Poverty welfare reform, households with dependent children with no adults in employment; – Transport poor access to services and employment from our valley communities; – The physical environment poor air quality, flood risk and the decline of biodiversity; – Services and facilities lack of fixed substance misuse services in remote communities; – After developing these themes, the Board applied a set of tests to identify which of the issues would benefit from the collective action: Does the issue affect the whole population or specific groups within the population?
