Key points raised during the discussion:
1. The BCF update note (Annex 1) was presented by the Strategic Director for Adult Social Care. 2. The Strategic Director for Adult Social Care explained that work on the BCF had driven partners to think about local better care plans more strategically. Better care plans would need to be resubmitted in late September with formal sign off (by the H&W Board) in early October. 3. It was explained that, given the national deadlines and the ongoing work being undertake to develop and finalise the better care fund plan for Surrey, there would be a tight turnaround in terms of sign-off of the plan – it was proposed that the better care fund plan would be circulated to the board for comment before submission in late September. 4. The metrics around BCF planning were queried with the board asking for a simpler version to be made available for the public. It was recognised that the metrics within Surrey would differ and that each CCG would have area specific rates they would aim to reduce. 5. A member of the board queried the difficulties that would be encountered when trying to reduce emergency admissions by 3.5%. The Director for Public Health explained that work was already being done locally to reduce non elective admissions. CCG’s carried a risk if this reduction was not met. 6. The Chairman of Healthwatch Surrey asked for a briefing on the BCF plan before submission of the plan in late September. 7. It was queried whether or not a draft copy of the BCF plans could be sent to members of the board. The Strategic Director for Adult Social Care explained that working documents were available but officers wanted to take a closer look into health and social care investment before sending out any plans. 8. It was explained that there had been a national pause on the BCF from April to July 2014. This had meant that additional work had to be done to ensure the plans were ready for submission in September.
