    Before introducing the item, the Chairmanreflected on the upcoming changes regarding the Health and Care Bill 2021 which was working its way through Parliament, expected to become legislation in April 2022.

    He noted that the current Integrated Care System Boards would be combined with the Clinical Commissioning Groups, to form a single NHS-centric Integrated Care Board, its focus would be on the delivery of healthcare across the system. Alongside that Board, there would be an Integrated Care Partnership, which it was envisioned in Surrey would either overlap with or take the place of the Health and Wellbeing Board; which already had a broad membership. Discussion would be had on the future changes including the terms of reference and transition arrangements, ensuring the continued collaborative approach to improving the health and the wellbeing of Surrey’s residents.

    ·      That over the last month the Council had been awarded £2.8 million in funding through the Changing Futures programme to provide additional tailored support in partnership to those facing multiple disadvantage, including homelessness, substance misuse, poor mental health, domestic abuse, and contact with the Criminal Justice System.

    ·      That active travel was a key area of focus with the Council currently consulting on the new draft Transport Plan including plans to reduce carbon emissions by 46% and redesigning neighbourhoods; the consultation survey would end on 24 October 2021.

    ·      Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plans (LCWIPs) were being undertaken across Surrey to support active travel, with plans in each District and Borough to be developed by 2023.

    Ruth Hutchinson - Director of Public Health (SCC)

     

    Key points raised in the discussion:

     

    1.    The Director of Public Health (SCC) highlighted:

    ·         That the Board was at Stage Three of Four regarding the Health and Wellbeing Strategy refresh.

    ·         That Stage One was conducted in June 2021 whereby the reframed priorities, outcomes, system capabilities and priority populations were approved - a slight revision was contained in Appendix 1 as noted in the first recommendation.

    ·         That Stage Two was conducted in July 2021 whereby the principles and the empowering communities agenda was reviewed - which linked to tackling health inequalities.

    ·         That Stage Three sought approval of the principles and programmes as discussed at the private informal Board meeting in July, whereby the three guest speakers - Lord Nigel Crisp KCB, Hazel Stuteley OBE, Dr Gillian Orrow - led a workshop challenging the Board to look at how it could create the conditions for health improvement.

    ·         The challenge considered at the private informal Board in July was how to move from a system led ‘top down’ approach to a community led ‘inside out’ approach. 

    ·         The Population Intervention Triangle which had been adopted by the health inequalities work programme, it was proposed that the Board adopt it as part of its Strategy to reduce health inequalities through: community-led, civic-led and service-based interventions; also fulfilling the requirements within the NHS Long Term Plan.

    ·         That the key questions and feedback from the private informal Board in July, such as building on the Board’s existing strengths were incorporated into the refresh and the ten draft Strategy implementation principles had been updated and converted into Internal Programme Management Guidance, with the following new principles ‘four Cs’ for endorsement under the second recommendation: community capacity building, co-designing, co-producing and community led action.

    ·         Recommendations three and four underpinned the work across the three Priorities through two commitments to action: the enhanced partnership effort to work creatively with communities particularly in areas with the poorest health outcomes, and the exploration of the system-wide adoption of the Health in All Policies approach to which the Local Government Association had offered support. 

    ·         That Stage Four would commence in October-December to discuss and approve the governance arrangements, the details of the implementation plans and the new Health and Wellbeing Strategy metrics.

    2.    A Board member drew attention to the connection between the first recommendation concerning the community work in relation to areas of deprivation and the ongoing work around poverty - including child poverty - whereby it was vital to address the areas with the greatest deprivation; noting the need to ensure an explicit interconnected approach between the two. 

     

    RESOLVED:

     

    1.    Endorsed (informally) the Strategy’s revised Priorities, Outcomes, Priority Populations, System Capabilities and new, internal Programme Management guidance.

CREATING A WHOLE SYSTEM APPROACH TO PHYSICAL INACTIVITY pdf icon PDF 328 KB

    • Share this item

    Surrey’s new Physical Activity Strategy to 2030 seeks to create a ‘Movement for Change’ so that everyone, but with a particular focus on those who need it most, can benefit from the individual advantages of being active, and contribute to the building of safer, more connected and more resilient communities.

     

    Additional documents:

    Minutes:

    Witnesses:

     

    Elizabeth Duggan - Managing Director - Active Surrey (SCC)

     

    Key points raised in the discussion:

     

    1.    The Managing Director - Active Surrey (SCC) highlighted:

    ·         The activity over the last year in developing the system approach to physical activity through consulting with residents and their experiences and challenges.

    ·         That being active was positive for all ages, noting the proven benefits of a more active lifestyle such as the reduction in: the risk of osteoarthritis by over 80%, the risk of type 2 diabetes by up to 50%, heart disease, stroke, depression and dementia by up to 30%, as well as the confirmed link between regularly active people and less severe Covid-19 outcomes.

    ·         That beyond the health benefits, active travel had an important role to play against the climate emergency, community led initiatives were vital as for example sport and physical activity played an important part in reducing anti-social behaviour and addressed social isolation by creating a sense of belonging.

    ·         That physical activity levels were tracked nationally via Active Lives survey data, and over the course of the pandemic activity levels were low nationally; and in Surrey there had been some significant declines in numbers of regularly active people with levels at their lowest on record since 2015 with over 220,000 people who moved for less than thirty minutes a week.

    ·         That where there was inactivity there was inequality as those who had the most to gain, were the least able to take part in physical activity. A disproportionate number of those 220,000 inactive people were from deprived communities, such as those from ethnic minority groups, those with disabilities or long-term health conditions.

     

    Alison Bolton left the meeting at 11.51 am

     

    ·         That the Movement for Change physical activity strategy set out the long-term and ambitious commitments for a more active county, running parallel to and as a sustainable way to support the Community Vision for Surrey by 2030.

    ·         That co-production was central to the strategy, listening to all residents but with a focus on inactive residents, the process was led by a cross-system steering group to ensure a whole system responsibility.

    ·         That through undertaking co-production two key priorities were identified to make it easier for everyone to move more and the research highlighted the importance of a focused approach to those needing extra support, facing the barriers of time, money and self-worth.

    ·         The strategy highlighted four priority areas to focus on:

    -       giving a positive start to children and young people, through working with schools, parents and the young people themselves to establish the foundations for a healthy active lifestyle.

    -       connecting communities and under-represented groups, recognising the importance of community led action to ensure a place-based approach to physical activity.

    -       creating active environments, noting the focus on active travel and the rise in sedentary behaviour particularly throughout the pandemic; it was vital to reframe being active as the daily norm for people again.

    Nicola Airey left the meeting at 12.04 pm

     

    ·         That the framework followed six phases using all parts of the system to effect change through identifying the gaps in provision rather than focusing on individual interventions, beginning with the set-up, building the local picture, mapping the local system, taking action, managing the system network and ending on reflect and refresh.

    ·         Other pieces of work in relation to helping people to achieve a healthier weight as part of the whole systems approach included the use of grant payments from the Contain Outbreak Management Fund (COMF) to enable YMCA Redhill, Active Prospects, Stanwell Family Centre, Home Start (Runnymede, Woking and Ewell, Banstead) and Voluntary Action north west Surrey - all receiving £16,000 each with a further £4,000 having established an action plan in phase four of the framework.

    ·         That Surrey Heath Borough Council was taking a whole systems approach with support from Voluntary Action north west Surrey, and Active Surrey had been funded to support each project.

    ·         That the next steps entailed the monitoring and supporting of the progress of the whole systems approach pilots and developing an evaluation framework.

    ·         The recommendation which asked the Board to expand the whole systems approach and embed the framework in the other District and Borough Councils across Surrey as the framework was aimed at local authorities, with advocacy from the leadership to identify a person to lead on the approach - particularly someone from Reigate and Banstead Borough Council to support YMCA Redhill on the matter.

    2.      The Chairman noted that regarding ensuring engagement from the District and Borough Councils, it would be beneficial to get the matter onto the agendas of the Surrey Leaders’ Group and the Surrey Chief Executives’ Group.

    3.      The Priority Two Sponsor agreed with the importance for District and Borough Councils to embrace the framework and was happy to assist on the matter.

    4.      The Chairman noted a comment in the Teams chat whereby the Executive Director for Children, Families and Lifelong Learning (SCC) was happy to flag the whole systems approach to obesity which would fit into the work around Healthy Schools; at the planning session regarding an upcoming District and Borough Children's meeting.
