Members were reminded that at the Health and Wellbeing Board meeting on 6 July 2017, the Board voted in favour of appointing a Member to the Board from among Surrey’s large and important Voluntary, Community and Faith Sector (VCFS). It was agreed that Jason Gaskell / Michael Cannon would be appointed to represent Surrey Community Action which would speak on behalf on the entirety of the VCFS in the County.
    3. The Board had previously agreed that each Transformation Partnership (STP) would appoint someone to represent them on the Board. Due to the large membership of the Board, it was agreed that STPs should be asked to appoint their representative from among the existing members on the Board. It was therefore agreed that the following members would act as representatives for each STP:

    ·        Frimley Health and Care STP – Andy Brooks

    ·        Surrey Heartlands STP – David Eyre-Brook, Charlotte Canniff and Russell Hills

A briefing was circulated to all Board Members outlining some of these initiatives and is attached to these minutes an Annex 1.
    2. The Board were informed that NHS England had launched a consultation on developing national guidance for CCGs in an effort to align local prescribing practices. Specifically, NHS England had identified 18 medicines which were routinely prescribed for patients that were either clinically ineffective, unsafe, not cost effective or where a clinically proven alternative is available. The guidance, developed in consultation with an expert working group, aimed to standardise the approach across CCG areas for prescribing these medicines. It was agreed to recirculate national guidance for CCGs on aligning local prescribing practices to the Board.
    3. Members noted that Surrey County Council’s Public Health Team had produced a Place-Based Health Profiles for Surrey which would be available from September 2017. These Health Profiles combine the high level data provided by the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) with detailed evidence from localised geographical areas to provide detailed insights and evidence into the health of the population within specific CCG areas.

    Minutes:

    Declarations of interest:

     

    None

     

    Witnesses:

     

    Victoria Heald, Health and Wellbeing Programme Manager, Surrey County Council

    Shannon Katiyo, Public Health Registrar, Surrey County Council

     

    Key points raised during the discussion:

     

    1.     Officers informed members that this item was brought to the Board in order to agree on the areas of focus identified through the 2017 Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) process, and that this would inform the refreshed Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy (JHWS). Members were also asked to make a decision on the point at which to engage with stakeholders in refreshing the JHWS.

    2.     A brief outline of the JSNA process was given to Members where the five different priorities were highlighted and explained.

    3.     Members were provided with two options relating to engagement. These two options were:

    a.     Undertake engagement on the updated priority areas by working with priority leads and surveying stakeholders, including the public. This would be completed in March 2018

    b.     Update the strategy based on the above priorities with no further engagement (acknowledging the engagement with public and stakeholders that has already been undertaken as sufficient). This would be completed in December 2017

    1. Members sought clarification on which stakeholders would be further engaged where it was confirmed that it would be the lead officers of each of the priorities within the JHWS. Some members saw that further engagement would be unnecessary where others found it could be a benefit by identifying a more specific focus.
    2. Members agreed to proceed with option a, outlined in point three with the aim of completing by the earlier time of December 2017.
    3. A member of the public was invited to speak by the Chairman. It was questioned why the sexual health services contract had not been outlined as a priority within the JHWS. The Board reassured the resident that sexual health was a priority within Public Health but had not been included in the JHWS due to it being a standard function, rather than a specific priority.
    4. A member of the public was invited to speak by the Chairman. They stressed the need to be inclusive when the Board was sharing information and ensure that information is published in other mediums other than online. This was said to be due to a number of residents having difficulties accessing internet facilities. The Board reassured the resident that officers will be taking this into consideration and would be working with Districts/Boroughs to support this.  

     

    Actions/ further information to be provided:

     

    1.     Health & Wellbeing Communications Sub-Group to consider how hard copies of the new Joint Health & Wellbeing  Strategy to be made available for those without access to a computer (Action Ref: A22/17)
