JHWS PRIORITY: OLDER ADULTS HEALTH & WELLBEING PRIORITY
This report provides an update on the work that has been undertaken to develop the Health and Wellbeing Board’s action plan for the ‘Improving older adults’ health and wellbeing’ priority – it sets out the rationale for the priority (the evidence base), describes what the work is trying to achieve and also how it will be achieved. Additional documents: Minutes: Witnesses: Dave Sargeant, Interim Strategic Director, Adult Social Care Liz Lawn, North West Surrey CCG Jean Boddy, Senior Manager - Commissioning
Key points raised during the discussion:
1. The report was introduced by the Interim Strategic Director for Adult Social Care who explained how the Improving Older Adults health and wellbeing priority would be delivered through the older adult’s action plan. It was explained that the action plan had been produced and co designed with older people. There is an emphasis in the plan around partnership working and recognising the assets older people bring to the community.
2. The representative for North West Surrey CCG stated that older adults were a priority for all the CCG’s in Surrey and were encompassed in each CCG’s care plan. It was further explained that North West Surrey CCG coordinated the detailed local plans in local areas for all Surrey CCG’s and also coordinated the higher level plans. Lynne Owens joined the meeting at 1.40pm.
3. The Senior Manager for Commissioning introduced a short film which was shown to the Board. It was explained that Surrey would aim to deliver a short film similar to this which would focus on the results Surrey hoped to achieve.
4. The Interim Strategic Director for Adult Social Care explained that a large part of the work involved in the action plan would focus on a local whole systems approach which would focus on work with voluntary groups and the faith sector.
5. Members of the board recognised that there was a risk of medicalising problems that could be managed in a community setting and supported the need to work closer with the voluntary and faith sector.
6. Some members of the board agreed with the aspirations set out by the older adult’s action plan but felt that a great amount of work was needed before any real change could be made.
7. A member commented that achieving the aims and objectives in the older adult’s action plan would not be easy but things were beginning to happen on the ground. The ‘Live Smart’ project which involves joined up partnerships in Redhill was proving a success with all agencies involved taking equal responsibility.
8. The Senior Manager for Commissioning explained there was currently positive work going on with ‘dementia friendly Surrey’ and the ‘ageing well group’ which each district and borough would be looking to implement. 9. Members of the Board felt there was a great deal to be gained from working on the local level and finding new ways to enable people. The Interim Strategic Director for Adult Social Care stated that he was in the process of mapping out all the services currently being provided and would look for areas where the police would fit. The Interim Strategic Director for Adult Social Care offered to discuss any concerns the Chief Constable had outside the meeting.
10. It was suggested that all the organisations represented on the Health and Wellbeing board should support dementia awareness training with ... view the full minutes text for item 29/14 |

SURREY-WIDE BETTER CARE FUND: SIGN OFF
The Health and Wellbeing Board is asked to review and sign off the ‘final’ Surrey-wide Better Care Fund and submit to NHS England by 4 April 2014 deadline.
Additional documents: Minutes: Witnesses: Dave Sargeant, Interim Strategic Director, Adult Social Care Andy Brooks, Surrey Heath CCG
Key points raised during the discussion:
1. The report was introduced by the Surrey Heath CCG representative who explained that the key objectives of the better care fund (BCF) (page 32 of the report) took local delivery and local plans as a starting point. To ensure system objectives were met, metrics included in the BCF had been agreed by CCG’s and public health.
2. It was explained that within the last few hours there had been a minor change to the financial information in the report due to a change in population figures. It was explained that this slight amendment would not have a big impact on the final report being submitted.
3. It was felt that the process of putting the BCF report together had been challenging but had bought a number of different organisations together. It was recognised that the BCF would transform whole local systems and enable wider discussions with a range of partners.
4. The BCF would need to be submitted to NHS England by 4 April but the Board accepted that a great amount of work would be needed to develop the plan over the coming year, including working alongside organisations wider than health and social care.
5. It was agreed that the changes the BCF would make for the public needed to be made clearer. Healthwatch stated the desire to be more involved and integrated with the work of BCF.
6. It was recognised that the Better Care Board had a crucial role to play in the delivery of the BCF and would pick up on any wider future opportunities and any unintended adverse impacts. It was further added that a formal assurance process undertaken by NHS England would be taken on to ensure the metrics included in the BCF report submitted were accurate.
7. A member of the committee felt that there was a gap in the whole systems work which had excluded wider implications of the BCF and focused excessively on local systems.
8. It was explained that the Better Care Board had discussed what was at the local and national level in great detail. The Chairman reminded the Board that the money from the BCF was not new money but was ring fenced and would be determined by co commissioning.
9. The Chief Constable abstained from voting for the recommendation.
Resolved:
The health and wellbeing board agreed to, · Sign-off the ‘final’ Surrey-wide Better Care Fund and to submit to NHS England by 4 April 2014 deadline.
Next Steps: None
