Purpose of the item: The Committee has asked to review the progress made to implement the joint health and social care dementia strategyfor Surrey, 2022-2027. The Committee would like to see a focus on ensuring sufficient preventative measures are being provided to reduce dementia, as well as improving the dementia care pathway for the Surrey population. The Committee wish to understand what developments have been implemented across Surrey.
Additional documents: Minutes: Witnesses Mark Nuti, Cabinet Member for Health and Wellbeing, and Public Health Jane Bremner, Head of Commissioning, Mental Health Simon Brauner-Cave, Deputy Director of Mental Health Commissioning, Surrey Heartlands, Integrated Care System (ICS) Damien Taylor, Community Transformation Lead for Older Adults, Surrey and Borders NHS Partnerships Trust (SaBP) Negin Sarafraz-Shekary, Public Health Principal, Cardiovascular Disease Prevention
Key points raised during the discussion:
1. Officers provided the Committee with a presentation prior to the discussion, which outlined the context of the dementia strategy; interventions and programmes of support in place to enhance prevention and reduce risk factors; dementia diagnosis rates; support groups; Technology Enabled Care and Homes (TECH); support for carers; and end of life care support.
2. The Chairman noted that several links in the report did not work and asked for links to be re-sent to the committee.
3. A Member asked what was being done in Surrey around prevention among adults with learning disabilities and how it could be promoted in the community other than online such as on social media. The Community Transformation Lead for Older Adults explained that there were several accessible resources offered, particularly around brain health, healthy eating and lifestyle. These resources were often provided when an individual was referred into services. If an individual had a specific specialist learning disability health need, there was a healthy group run by the multidisciplinary team which could offer referrals to dietetics.
4. The Public Health Principal added that everyone from the age of 14 with a diagnosed learning disability were eligible to receive an annual health check, providing an opportunity to identify early risk factors around healthy eating, sexual health, alcohol etc. A lot of work to raise awareness was happening across primary care to increase that opportunity and ensure parents were aware. Public Health developed two bespoke ‘making every contact count’ courses for people and carers of people with learning disabilities. One course was around healthy eating, and the other course was around alcohol, to help ensure a tailored approach for people with a learning disability.
