    Key points raised during the discussion:

     

    1. Members were informed that Surrey Police had responded to a high number of calls regarding incidents in hospitals in Surrey. The Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) had previously requested the Board‘s support in addressing this as it was felt that the number of times police were required to attend A&E could be reduced if a collective effort was made by the healthcare community. The following resolutions were suggested by the Board:

                      i.        the issue to be considered by the Local Health Resilience Partnership to review business continuity processes; and

                     ii.        for the issue to be referred to  the Wellbeing and Health Scrutiny Board for consideration.

    1. Officers presented an update on the Health and Wellbeing Communications Sub-Group and asked the Board members if they felt that there was anything specific that the communications group should be focusing on in 2017. Members suggested that the Health & Wellbeing Board Communications Sub-group link with the STPs communications groups as well as the Community Safety Board to improve information sharing.
    1. Officers informed the Board that Surrey had submitted an application to be a ‘Time to Change Hub’ and that the Board would receive confirmation on whether or not the bid had been successful.
    2. Discussion took place regarding a letter which was sent to the Co-Chairs of the Health & Wellbeing Board from the Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (SABP) on proposed changes to inpatient mental health services in North West, Mid and East Surrey. The Board felt it was most appropriate for this to be taken forward by commissioners of these services and would be progressed outside of the meeting.

    Key points raised during the discussion:

     

    Strategic Transformation Plans

     

    Surrey Heartlands

    1. Members were briefed on the areas which the Surrey Heartlands STP covered and the 850,000 people living within the region. It was explained that Surrey Heartlands STP was made up of 11 constituent organisations whose leaders came together to form the Surrey Heartlands Transformation Board. The challenges that Surrey Heartlands faced included the increased demand of health and social care due to the population living much longer and the stresses that this put on the system. Going forward the STPs plans were to continue to provide high quality services and to work to make them sustainable over the next five years. It was explained that a holistic model on mental health would be introduced and that the strategies and pressures on the entry point to the system would be improved. The Board were informed of the devolution plans of the Surrey Heartlands STP  which would bring together the commissioning of health and social care services and would ensure that decision-making and accountability in relation to the delivery of health and social care services took place at a local level.
    2. The Board asked what changes would be made in terms of patient engagement and what changes patients would see to the delivery of health and social care services going forward. Officers responded by explaining that representatives would be looking at developing more focused pathways through the system. The acute hospitals would also be working with patients to use previous experiences to develop and enhance  services in the future.
    3. A discussion was had around the benefit of using local services rather than sending patients out of the county to receive treatment. Officers made clear that STPs were place based systems of care and that they would be looking to commission services that would enable patients to be treated locally.

     

    Sussex and East Surrey 

    1. Officers provided an overview of the various stakeholders and localities covered by the Sussex and East Surrey STP. Members were shown figures demonstrating the forecast funding  without change in the delivery of health and social care services in the Sussex & East Surrey STP area. Officers stated that they wanted to implement an integrated place-based plan which would create a system of care that was more proactive and, where possible would help service users to regain independence. Members were further told about a Clinical Reference Group that would cover the entirety of the STP area to promote consistency and ensure that the different models of care used across the STP were compatible.
    2. The Board sought confirmation that engagement would  take place with the Council as a commissioner of social care services. After some discussion it was explained that there would be communities of practise involving integrated social care models in each local area that would be delivered and  ...  view the full minutes text for item 50/16

    Simon Turpitt, Independent Chair, Surrey Safeguarding Adults Board

     

    Key points raised during the discussion:

     

    1. Officers introduced the report and highlighted some key points surrounding its duties. It was highlighted that one duty was for the Surrey Safeguarding Adults Board (SSAB) to ensure all partners meet their required training in Safeguarding. It was further explained that SSAB had a responsibility to ensure that key contacts and information was publicised to residents. Members of the SSAB had also been working together to maximise opportunities to register safeguarding concerns which included working withCheckatrade to ask its member organisations to register any safeguarding concerns they may have alongside other initiatives to spread awareness of vunerable adults so they can register safeguarding concerns. A number of areas of improvement were highlighted to the Board which included improvements in the use of data as well as engagement from GPs in Safeguarding processes.
    2. The Board questioned how  SSAB planned to engage hard to reach groups to ensure that vulnerable adults in certain communities are not missed by safeguarding protocols.  Officers acknowleded that this had been a challenge but stated that SSAB had been working to engage hard to reach and faith groups.
    3. Members discussed the potential for considering SSAB’s Annual Report earlier in the year. The Board agreed that the next SSAB Annual Report should be considered earlier in the year.

    For the Surrey Safeguarding Adults Board Annual Report 16-17 to be considered by the Health and Wellbeing Board at a more appropriate time with the earlier report for reference. (Action Ref: A29/16)

    Key points raised during the discussion:

     

    1. Officers introduced the report and gave a brief summery of the Surrey Safeguarding Children’s Board’s (SSCB) key responsibilities. The Officer explained that  SSCB’s annual report gave detailed information on the performance of the system for safeguarding children in Surrey. The Board was further informed that a previous Ofsted report had judged Children’s services, as well as other partner agencies, as inadequate although feedback from inspectors suggests that a steady progress was being made. The relationship between practitioners and the child/family and how this could been supported was a key focus for SCC to improve the support it provided for vulnerable children. 
    2. Members stressed the importance of GPs completing level 3 training in Children’s Safeguarding and asked if it was possible to obtain data on how many GPs had this qualification.
    3. The Board discussed future Ofsted inspections and it was highlighted that the next inspection would take place in January 2017 with a focus on child sex exploitation and missing children. Officers  informed the Board that they believed the Ofsted result would be improved in the next 12 to 18 months.
