PRESENTATION: SURREY AND SUSSEX HEALTHCARE: "OUR CLINICAL STRATEGY - A VISION OF BETTER HEALTHCARE" [INFORMATION ONLY]
To receive a presentation by Dr Ben Mearns, Clinical Lead for Acute and Elderly Medicine, Surrey and Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust. Minutes: The Committee received a presentation by Michael Wilson, Chief Executive; Des Holden, Medical Director, and Dr Ben Mearns, Clinical Lead for Acute and Elderly Medicine, Surrey and Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust. The presentation slides are attached to the minutes as Appendix A.
During discussion with the Committee, the following key points were raised:
· Members were pleased to hear that more cancer treatment would be taking place at East Surrey Hospital in future, as the need to travel to the Royal Surrey County Hospital in Guildford for such treatment was a major concern for many residents. · Members expressed concerns regarding the possibility that the hospital may not be granted the highest category of Accident and Emergency cover in relation to its proximity to Gatwick Airport and the M25/M23. This also led to serious concerns regarding the future of stroke care; Members were concerned to hear that there was a possibility that stroke patients would have to be taken to hospitals up to 30 minutes away in future. · Discussion took place regarding appropriate use of the Emergency Department by residents and out of hours GP care. · Members raised concerns regarding the variable levels of funding per head of population allocated to the two Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) covering the borough of Reigate and Banstead. The Chairman indicated that she would like representatives of the CCGs to attend a future meeting. · Members noted that the Trust was due to find out the outcome of its recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission in July. If the Trust was graded “Good”, it would be able to take further steps towards achieving Foundation Trust status; should this be successful, Foundation Trust status would be granted in early 2015.
The Chairman thanked the representatives of the Trust for their attendance. |

Services for Young People (SYP) currently operates nine commissions which contribute towards the overall goal of full participation in education, training or employment with training for young people to age 19 and to age 25 for those with special educational needs or disabilities (SEND). These commissions are delivered through in-house services and external providers, where contracts were let generally for a 3 year period, all expiring in 2015.
This paper explores increased delegation of decision-making in relation to local ‘Early Help’ for young people, within the context of re-commissioning for 2015 to 2020.
Report and Annex 1 attached. Decision: The Committee:
(i) SUPPORTED increased delegation of decision-making to include the current Centre Based Youth Work so that it can be re-commissioned alongside the current Local Prevention Framework.
(ii) AGREED that local priorities for the newly delegated commissions within Services for Young People will be decided by the Local Committee (Reigate and Banstead) informed by the work of the constituted Youth Task Group.
REASONS: In order to build on the successes of Services for Young People and enable greater integration and working together for the commissioning of the Local Prevention Framework, Centre Based Youth Work and potentially other more integrated commissioning with partners such as Reigate and Banstead Borough Council, Public Health, Surrey Police and Active Surrey. It will help Services for Young People to achieve its overall goal of employability for all young people. Minutes: Declarations of Interest: None
Officer(s) attending: Jeremy Crouch, Lead Youth Officer (Commissioning) for East Surrey
Petitions, Public Questions, Statements: None
Member Discussion – key points:
· Members wished to know what the level of funding was likely to be in the future. The Lead Youth Officer explained that the position was to have a “stand-still” budget with the flexibility in commissioning to manage budget pressures. · The achievements of Services for Young People over the past two years were recognised and welcomed; Members were interested to know how much involvement young people had in relation to the Youth Task Group and commissioning. The Lead Youth Officer reported that young people were members of the Youth Transformation Board (alongside Members and officers) and played an integral part in the recommissioning process. The Youth Task Groups had worked hard to ensure that young people were able to access them and contribute. A member of staff worked with young people to support their contribution and provide training, and they had made an important contribution to the most recent recommissioning process in Reigate and Banstead. · A question was asked regarding the commissioning outcomes and their alignment to the three newly defined categories for delivery. The Lead Officer informed Members that feedback had shown that the separation between centre-based youth work and prevention (via the Local Prevention Framework) was felt to be unhelpful, as preventative work needed to work hand in hand with youth centres. Under the Early Help strand, youth centres and the Local Prevention Framework could be seen as one resource. · Concerns were raised regarding transport, lack of income and homelessness, and how the commissions would tackle these issues. The Lead Officer reported that work was taking place with bus companies to tackle the transport issues faced by young people; the Individual Prevention Grant also meant that young people received help to purchase bikes. The Youth Support Service was responsible for dealing with homelessness amongst young people, which was now at an all time low across Surrey.
Resolution:
The Committee:
(i) SUPPORTED increased delegation of decision-making to include the current Centre Based Youth Work so that it can be re-commissioned alongside the current Local Prevention Framework.
(ii) AGREED that local priorities for the newly delegated commissions within Services for Young People will be decided by the Local Committee (Reigate and Banstead) informed by the work of the constituted Youth Task Group. |

ANNUAL PERFORMANCE REPORT FROM SERVICES FOR YOUNG PEOPLE [INFORMATION ONLY]
The purpose of this report is to update the Local Committee on the progress that Services for Young People have made towards participation for all young people in Borough in post-16 education, training and employment during 2013-14. This is the overarching goal of Services for Young People and our strategy to achieve it is set out in ‘The young people’s employability plan 2012-17’.
In particular this Local Committee report focuses on the contribution of our different commissions to this goal and how they have performed during the year. Please note that the majority of detailed performance information is provided in the annex to this report.
Next steps have also been included to set out how we will keep the Local Committee informed about developments and our progress during the year ahead.
Report and Annex 1 attached. Additional documents: Minutes: Declarations of Interest: None
Officer(s) attending: Jeremy Crouch, Lead Youth Officer (Commissioning) for East Surrey
Petitions, Public Questions, Statements: None
Member Discussion – key points:
· Discussion took place regarding some of the terminology used in the performance report, for example Not in Education, Employment or Training (NEETs) and Participating in Education, Training or Employment (PETEs). Members requested that a glossary of term be included in future reports. · Members asked if it was possible to include the performance of voluntary sector run youth clubs in future reports. The Lead Youth Officer explained that the report was designed to focus on the performance of services commissioned by Services for Young People; however the Youth Task Group would be looking at all provision, including voluntary sector, and mapping this at a future meeting. · A question was asked regarding the Leader’s Ready for Work Programme and why Reigate and Banstead appeared to have a low number of young people helped by it compared with other parts of Surrey. The Lead Youth Officer explained that the programme was still growing and developing, and as further links were made with employers, it was expected that a more equal distribution would occur. The scheme was on a referral basis, and in Reigate and Banstead there were a number of providers offering similar support, so it may be that young people were being referred to other, similar schemes. The Chairman suggested that the Youth Task Group should work with the Borough Council’s business portfolio holder when discussing links with employers. · Concerns were raised regarding the performance of the Sovereign Centre. The Lead Youth Officer reported that a number of measures were being taken to address the issues, including working with staff to increase capacity and a package of measures with Raven Housing Trust (the managing agent). An action plan would be put in place and the officer agreed to keep the Local Member informed on progress. He explained that as the Sovereign Centre was a satellite provision, it was not currently subject to the same targets as full-time provision, but this was likely to change after recommissioning. The Chairman agreed to write to the Cabinet Member to express the Committee’s concerns about performance at the Sovereign Centre. · The Chairman agreed to write to the Cabinet Member regarding the lack of statutory youth provision in Redhill, which has the highest number of NEETs in the borough.
Resolution:
The Committee NOTED the progress Services for Young People has made during 2013-14 to increase participation for young people in education, training or employment, as set out in the appendix to the report submitted. |

In June 2012, Surrey County Council was successful in securing an award of £14.3 million in grant funding from the Department for Transport’s Local Sustainable Transport Fund (LSTF). This is in addition to the award of £3.9 million LSTF Key Component secured in July 2011.
Both grants are for the period up to 31 March 2015 and jointly form the Surrey Travel SMART programme. As part of the Surrey Travel SMART programme, a total of £4.8million has been allocated for sustainable travel improvements in Redhill / Reigate.
This report provides an update to the committee on the progress of the Travel SMART programme in Redhill and Reigate and asks members to consider a number of bus corridor improvements, improving bus reliability and facilities available to users.
Report and Annexes A – D attached. Additional documents: Decision: The Committee:
(i) AGREED to the bus corridor improvements highlighted in Annexes A to D to the report submitted.
(ii) NOTED the progress made in the Travel SMART programme to date and more detailed plans for the financial year 2014/15.
REASONS: The four bus corridor improvements are designed to improve bus reliability and the experience for bus users in Reigate and Banstead. These improvements meet the aims of the Local Sustainable Transport Fund programme by improving travel choices for residents. Minutes: Declarations of Interest: None
Officer(s) attending: Marc Woodall, Travel SMART Engagement Manager and Alison Houghton, Transport Officer (Projects)
Petitions, Public Questions, Statements: None
Member Discussion – Key Points:
· Members sought clarification as to the difference between a ‘bus cage’ and a ‘bus clearway’. The Transport Officer explained that the term bus cage referred to the painted markings on the road, and that these could not be enforced unless a bus clearway was in place. However, even without a bus clearway, a bus cage could still act as a deterrent and prevent inconsiderate parking. · Concerns were raised that the real time passenger information (RTPI) screen at Redhill Bus Station was not corresponding with the timetable. The Transport Officer reported that the reason for this was due to Metrobus using a different RTPI system to Surrey County Council. A real time upgrade was planned as part of the Travel SMART programme, and a new screen at Redhill Bus Station would address the issue.
Resolution:
The Committee:
(i) AGREED to the bus corridor improvements highlighted in Annexes A to D to the report submitted.
(ii) NOTED the progress made in the Travel SMART programme to date and more detailed plans for the financial year 2014/15. |

The officer agreed to feed this back. · Discussion took place regarding parking for Woodmansterne School. The officer reported that parents previously parked in the rugby club car park but this had recently been withdrawn. He noted that the plan for road safety outside schools was due to be considered by Cabinet soon. · Members wished to know if proposals could be made for new schemes. The officer informed Members that this was likely to be discussed in September; new schemes were still being logged and Members should continue to contact Anita Guy, Senior Engineer regarding this. · Concerns were raised regarding the delay to the widening of Tadworth Street due to the need to relocate BT cables. The Chairman asked the officer to look into this issue. Post-Meeting Note: The cost of relocating utility companies’ equipment varies greatly and needs to be considered as part of any scheme. The locations of proposed new equipment on the highway should be passed to the Streetworks Team by the utility companies. These are then assessed, including input from the local Maintenance Engineer where appropriate.
Resolution:
The Committee NOTED the contents of the report.
