Additional documents: Minutes: Witnesses:
Tim Oliver, Chairman of the Health and Wellbeing Board
Key points raised during the discussion:
1. The Chairman briefed the Board on the background to the Strategy and highlighted its key strategic aims. He explained that the idea behind the Strategy was to tie in the NHS 10 Year Plan, the Surrey 2030 Vision and the Social Care Green Paper into a county-wide, multi-organisational plan of action, and that the priorities contained within it had been agreed by all of the partners who had taken part in its formulation. 2. The Chairman went on to talk about the engagement process, which was not a formal consultation but engaged Surrey residents in commenting on the three priorities and target groups set out in the Strategy. He also highlighted the fact that the Board’s role was to make sure that the Strategy’s aims were implemented in a way that allowed residents to witness a demonstrable improvement, and that the implementation process remained transparent and accountable throughout. 3. A discussion was had about the collaboration between organisations in the production of the document, with Board Members expressing their satisfaction with the levels undertaken. 4. The Chief Executive of Healthwatch Surrey asked whether the Board could assure that there had been enough engagement with the public and whether the rest of the Members were clear on the metrics to be used and the timeframe for their development. In response, the Chairman said that the Strategy was not a completed piece of work but instead would change as it was implemented. Regular reviewing and public engagement would make sure the Strategy continued the meet residents’ needs. 5. The Director of Public Health informed the Board about a process of metric development that would be undertaken throughout the summer and autumn of 2019 as the Strategy moved into its next stage. Members also heard about the development of a performance dashboard, and that work would be done with stakeholders to provide an overview of performance. 6. The Cabinet Member for Children, Young People and Families asked about the aspirations behind the targets and noted that, in some instances, those included in the Strategy were lower than what was being achieved at that moment in time. The Cabinet Member was informed by the Senior Responsible Officer for Surrey Heartlands that the targets related to obesity and depression levels were typographical errors and would be corrected. 7. Responding to a question about the engagement undertaken with district and borough councils and the extent to which this would continue throughout the Strategy’s implementation period, the Chairman told the Board that he saw such engagement as a key area of focus. He went on to inform Members that conversations would be had with district and borough leaders about how best to discuss issues relating to the Strategy. This point was echoed by the Head of Housing and Community and the Director of Integrated Care Partnerships. 8.

Key points raised during the discussion:
1. The Executive Director for Children, Families and Learning introduced the Strategy and explained the background to its development. The Children’s Services Consultant discussed the Strategy’s development process and the way in which it offered a clear vision that was spread across all of the relevant agencies. She also requested the opportunity to present at a future Board meeting in order to give an update on the work that had been done during the transformation period outlined in the Strategy. Responding to a question about the timeframe of the Strategy, the Children’s Services Consultant then informed the Board that it covered the period 2019-2022. 2. The Cabinet Member for Children, Young People and Families welcomed the Strategy and stated that the Surrey Youth Cabinet voted in 2016 that mental health was one of the biggest issues facing young people. She also discussed the increase in central government funding for mental health and asked how the Council may be able to request a share of that money. In response, the Children’s Services Consultant spoke about the work being undertaken with CCGs to make sure that funding was used to help implement the Strategy. The Executive Director for Children, Families and Learning added that social media has an impact on many of the issues outlined in the Strategy and told the Board that the department was aiming to invest money in early intervention in schools. 3. The Police and Crime Commissioner welcomed the report and spoke about the issue of children who go missing due to emotional and mental health problems. He discussed the improvement in coordination amongst partners in recent years but told the Board that more work needed to be done before the problem could be reduced to a manageable level. 4. The Chief Executive of Healthwatch Surrey discussed the Strategy’s governance model and asked what the Board would see and at what point. She also questioned what the key milestones of the performance indicators were and who had ownership of performance management.

Additional documents: Minutes: Witnesses:
Maya Twardzicki, Public Health Lead Nanu Chumber-Stanley, Public Health Development Worker
Key points raised during the discussion:
1. The Director of Public Health introduced the Strategy and informed the Board that it was the department’s response to the national work that had recently been undertaken. 2. The Board heard from the Public Health Lead, who spoke about the consultation period that had taken place during the summer of 2018. She explained how an extensive consultation process had resulted in 200 responses being received, and these then helped formulate the draft version of the Strategy that was further amended after being taken to the Surrey-based CCGs. 3. The Cabinet Member for Adults and Public Health welcomed the Strategy but questioned whether it could be signed off by the Board before a lead organisation had been agreed, as outlined in Priority 4 (‘Reduce attempted suicide and self harm – especially amongst children and young people’). In response, the Public Health Lead informed the Board that this was to be a representative from the Children and Young People services. She went on to say that a first meeting was had with the Suicide Prevention Partnership early in March 2019 and that the Commissioning Manager had named someone with children and mental health in their brief who would take the lead going forward. At the Partnership meetings, there would also be representation from the Children and Adolescent Mental Health Services provider organisation, Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust. 4. A discussion was had about recognising the signs of mental illness at the earliest possible stage. In response to a question about the possibility of training being provided so that those signs could be better spotted, the Public Health Development Worker told Board Members about suicide prevention training sessions that were delivered not only to families of those people that struggled with mental illness but also people who work in the wider community, from sectors such as retail, banking and security services.
Actions/further information to be provided:
None.
Resolved:
The Board:
1. Approved the Strategy. 2. Approved the request to commit partners to the joint delivery of the Strategy. 3.

Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment: Supplementary Statement and Update
The Surrey Health and Wellbeing Board (HWB) is responsible for delivering a Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA) every three years. The PNA was last published in 2018, but the PNA Steering Group reviews annually to ensure no substantive changes are required. The attached report provides a supplementary statement to the 2018 PNA which the PNA Steering Group recommends the Board approves.
Additional documents: Minutes: Witnesses:
Julie George, Public Health Consultant
Key points raised during the discussion:
1. The Public Health Consultant outlined the background to the Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA) supplementary statement and explained to the Board that it was required that a new PNA be produced outside of the usual three-yearly cycle if circumstances changed sufficiently. As this was not the case, only a supplementary statement was needed and the Board were asked to note their approval of it. 2. A discussion was had about population growth and the supply of pharmacies, with this being one of the changes that can result in a new PNA needing to be produced. The Clinical Chair of North West Surrey CCG asked whether any predictive analysis was mapped with regards to housing growth in order to try and gauge what increases in population may occur over the coming years, and the Public Health Consultant informed the Board that the PNA Steering Group had looked at new housing developments and whether these required pharmacies to be opened to ensure access. The Steering Group primarily concentrated on large-scale developments due to the impacts they have on access, but the officer acknowledged the tension between the PNA that looked at the present requirements and what may happen in the future. 3. The Leader of Guildford Borough Council raised the issue of long delays relating to the one pharmacy located in Ash and was told that it was NHS England’s responsibility and complaints needed to be escalated to them. He was also informed that the Surrey public health team would be happy to advise on the process. 4. Responding to a question about pharmacy closures, the Public Health Consultant informed the Board that there had not been as many as had been feared due to the changes to the pharmacy funding arrangements, and the minimal amount of changes meant that no gaps in access had been identified.
Actions/further information to be provided:
None.
Resolved:
1. The Board approved the PNA supplementary statement. |
