Key points raised during the discussion:
Actions/ further information to be provided:
The Board to receive an update report in relation to the Health Summit at its meeting in May 2018.
For a letter to be written to the Commissioners in relation to the CAMHS contract expressing the Boards views.
RESOLVED:
The Board noted and approved the following recommendations;
1) Note areas where progress has been made against the 'improving children's health and wellbeing' priority, specifically in relation to DfE recognition of the substantial progress in SEND services to date.
2) Note areas where progress has been more limited or where we are yet to see the impact of work for children, such as childhood immunisation rates, tier 3 perinatal mental health services and breastfeeding at 6-8 weeks.
3)
Note areas where better data and analysis has
highlighted more stubborn challenges, specifically in relation to
initial and review health assessments for looked after children and
waiting times for paediatric and therapy services for vulnerable
children, where we will need to develop a different approach to
improve timely access to these services for children.
4) Note the significant concerns in relation to demand and clinical risk within the jointly commissioned child and adolescent mental health service (CAMHS) and the proposed next steps.
5) Receive a further update in relation to progress to clinical risk within the CAMHS service at the next board meeting.
6) Receive a further update for the 'improving children's health and wellbeing' priority against the new set of outcomes, in six months' time.
