    Key points raised during the discussion:

The Officers concluded by advising Members of future plans for the Emotional Wellbeing and Mental Health Priority Status which included a primary care focus, integrated care approach and an accommodation pathway for people struggling with  mental health problems and substance misuse.

    2.    The Board discussed potential changes in the commissioning of mental health services as a result of Sustainability and Transformation Plans (STPs) which will require health and social care services to be commissioned with a more regional focus. Members stated that the benefits achieved by commissioning mental health services at a countywide level and the strides which have been made through the Mental Health Crisis Concordat  should not be lost as a result of potential changes to commissioning through the STPs.

    3.     The Board highlighted the success that had been made in delivering the aims of the Emotional Wellbeing and Mental Health priority as enshrined in the Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy and how it has shown sustained and continued improvement against performance indicators.

    Minutes:

    Witness:

    Kat Stolworthy, Platform Manager, Surrey County Council 

     

    Key points raised during the discussion:

     

    1.    The item was introduced by the Platform Manager who provided an update on the progress of Surrey’s Local Digital Roadmap. The Board was informed that NHS England had recently published guidance stating that Health and Wellbeing Board sign off was not required for local digital roadmaps and so the recommendation asking that approval for the roadmap to be delegated to the IM&T Programme Director in consultation with the Health and Wellbeing Board Co-Chairs was no longer relevant. Assurances were given however the Board would still receive updates on the progress of the Digital Roadmap. Furthermore, officers working on the Digital Roadmap were working closely with Healthwatch on the public engagement element of the roadmap by sharing information and taking advantage of the opportunities that Healthwatch provides for working with service users.

    2.    The Board was informed that consideration would continue to be given to different programs of care and to finding diverse ways of using technology to improve services.

    3.    Members suggested that some of the plans detailed in the roadmap appeared to quite ambitious and asked the Platform Manager if they are genuinely achievable. The Platform Manager stated that a digital maturityassessment had been carried out of in each organisations affiliated with the roadmap which confirmed that some would be able to meet their targets whilst others would need support.

    4.    The Board was concern that the Board was very NHS focused and requested that the next update that the Board receives on the digital roadmap should include more detail on the work being done with Adult Social Care.

    5.     A member of the public asked whether the aspiration contained within the digital roadmap to go paperless would put Surrey in breach of the Care Act by reducing accessibility for those who don’t have access to a computer. The Board stated that this would not contravene the Care Act as it was a roadmap for how health and social care organisations in Surrey would integrate their digital systems rather than changing how they would interact with service users and residents who would still be able to access paper versions of their records.

     

     

     

    Actions/further information to be provided:

     

    None.  

     

    RESOLVED: that;

     

    1.    The Health and Wellbeing Board agreed to approve the summary Local Digital Roadmap; and

     

    2.    To receive the final Local Digital Roadmap for comment ahead of submission and that authority to approve the Local Digital Roadmap be delegated to the IM&T Programme Director in consultation with the Co-Chairs of the Board.
