Issue - meetings

The Panel considered the report of the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Sustainability and Transformation Partnership Senior Responsible Officer requesting that the Panel consider the proposal to reform the Hampshire and Isle of Wight health and care system.

Richard Samuels (Sustainability and Transformation Partnership Senior Responsible Officer) and John Richards (Chief Executive Officer, NHS Southampton City CCG) were in attendance and, with the consent of the Chair, addressed the meeting.

The Senior Responsible Officer representative detailed a number of matters including:

·  How the plan did not currently reflect any new structures but that it would need to reflect the NHS Long-Term Plan, which was awaiting publication;

·  How the regional reform plan was centred around clusters and recognised the importance of place and accessibility;

·  What potential measures would be used to reflect future performance of the reforms;

·  The aims of the reform to encourage increased integration of services within the various agencies that provide health care within the system.  The Panel were informed that Southampton Better Care Plan had shown that agencies could work more effectively together and not affect the individual governance of the organisations involved: and

·  The accessibility of the language used within the report.

RESOLVED the Panel requested that, in order to enable the Panel to hold the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Sustainability and Transformation Partnership to account, measures of success and timelines are included in the future iterations of the system reform plan.
