Issue - meetings

The Panel considered the report of the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Integrated Care Board which recommended that the Panel noted and supported the direction of travel outlined in the draft Interim Integrated Care Strategy.

Ros Hartley, Director of Partnerships, Integrated Care Board; James House, Managing Director, Southampton Place, Integrated Care Board; Dr Debbie Chase, Director of Public Health (virtual); and Councillor Fielker, Cabinet Member for Health, Adults and Leisure (Virtual) were in attendance and, with the consent of the Chair, addressed the meeting.

The Panel discussed a number of points including:

·  The strategy was built on what was already happening at the level of Place and identified the services delivered locally and where services would benefit from collaboration with other services or from working at scale across a larger area.

·  The priority areas of the strategy were Children and Young People, Mental Wellbeing, Promoting Good Health, Providing Proactive Care, Workforce Development and Digital Solutions.

·  The strategy was needs focussed and provided a foundation for the development of key actions and targets for the partnership to deliver better value for money in terms of services for people.

·  The strategy covered health services, but the integration of care services could be strengthened with more detail on empowering individuals and communities, improving quality of life and collaboration with care services.

·  The Integrated Care Partnership would be set up as a statutory board with agreed terms of reference and regular meetings in the new year.

RESOLVED that the final Interim Integrated Care Strategy would be circulated to the Panel.
