Agenda and minutes

(a)  To approve as an accurate record and the Chair to sign the minutes of the meeting of the Health & Wellbeing Board held on Wednesday, 12^th September 2018.

(b)  To note the outstanding actions.

Clarity was provided regarding minute No. 152, membership of joint delivery boards, and coproduction.  Martin Calleja confirmed that the aim was to ensure that residents were involved in developing services.  Invitations would be sent to finalise membership for the boards for the next board meeting in early 2019 with the process led by and supported by Public Service Reform who are leading on this.  Councillor Quigley stated that coproduction should be integral to the process of determining membership from the outset.  Councillor Coleman agreed that there should be people with disabilities involved in the recruitment and selection process and acknowledged that despite the challenges of co-production, this should be started at the earliest opportunity. Officers would continue to work in consultation with policy officers and members of the Disabled Peoples Commission, and had successfully recruited five people who will be part of the implementation group.

Vanessa Andreae requested that the commitment to establish an action tracker to compliment the minutes be established for the next board meeting and this was agreed.

RESOLVED

1.      That officer representation on the joint delivery boards would be coproduced and that having disabled representation would be assured;

2.      An action log tracker will be established for the next board meeting; and

3.      That the minutes of the previous meeting be agreed.

Apologies for absence were received from Dr Tim Spicer, H&F CCG (Vice-chair) and Sue Spiller.

Sue Roostan introduced the report which provides the first complete overview of the mental health provision across agencies to be completed in some time and serves as a good starting point for the Board’s chosen 2018/19 mental health focus. The current report details services for adults aged 18 to 65.  Overviews for Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) and services for residents aged 65+ will follow by the end of the financial year. These will be prepared jointly by the Council and the CCG following the same format.   

It was acknowledged that the review had been a challenging process, involving a high number of sources and individuals involved and should be considered ‘ongoing’.   A range of key strengths were highlighted including improvements to acute bed management and discharge, access to urgent care, early intervention and psychological services.  A range of challenges and opportunities were also clearly set out that had both a service and financial impact.  These included the need to reduce dependency on high cost placements and strengthen and better co-ordinate the social care, community support and primary care offer.

The following key issues were discussed;

Bringing the work of the West London led programme and local Joint Delivery Board together and consolidating co-production. 

The review recognised that West London Mental Health Trust was delivering a programme of service development across H&F, Ealing and Hounslow CCGs and a local Joint Delivery Board had been established to support and compliment this programme of work.  A strong commitment to co-production was highlighted and the review set out a wide range of initiatives across sectors that were already up and running – bringing together this work was a key requirement.

Keith Mallinson welcomed the commitment to co-produce, observing that there were many voices not represented in shaping services.  He asked about the West London local services transformation programme, which “continue to implement the shifting settings of care” and asked whether this was on-going.  It was clarified that this was a live programme and was being supported through patient involvement and co-production for key areas e.g. the review of standards for acute services. 

Janet Cree clarified that the likeminded strategy was part of the overall strategy for H&F, and across NW London.  Martin Calleja added that the Council had participated in preparing about this vision and it had been coproduced with residents although its implementation could have benefited from closer involvement of ASC. It was agreed bringing together the continuing programme with the work of the local Joint Delivery Board would resolve this issue.  address the gap. 

Martin Calleja clarified that around 60% of the £44 million was spent on acute services.  The level of need would have to be serious, if residents were to try and access those services.  In terms of shifting settings of care, many residents wanted to remain in their own homes while accessing services.  Sarah Rushton added that there were a high number of patients who were in receipt of community services, who  ...  view the full minutes text for item 158.
