91The Health and Wellbeing Board considered a verbal presentation from the Communities Manager, Cindy Lowthian. The presentation contained the following information:

Bury Council has six Township Forums; each council consists of all Councillors representing that area and co-opted advisory group of local representatives.

The performance of Township Forums can be assessed in relation to the progress they are making in developing and implementing priorities within their Township plan. Promotion of health and wellbeing features as a priority in all six township plans.

The Township Co-ordinators have worked with public health analysts to access updated health profiles for each township. The Communities Manager has met with representatives from the Clinical Commissioning Group in relation to developing links between with the Patient Cabinet and the Township Forum.

In discussions that followed Members of the Board, raised the following issues:

•The CCG would like to assist the Township Forum to further involve GP’s in the work of the Township Forums.
•Public health data should be used to ensure that resources are correctly targeted to areas of greatest need.
•Plans should be developed as a result of engagement with members of the public and community groups.
•Plans should be co-produce with help from different stakeholders
•Plans should be evidence based.

The Executive Director of Communities and Neighbourhoods reported that the clinical commissioning group had requested that information relating to the prevalence of dementia be added to the document.

The Executive Director of Communities and Neighbourhoods reported that the health scrutiny committee had raised the following issues:

•Needing clarity on measures and performance in order for the committee to scrutinise effectively, yet understanding many of the key actions are long term aspirations.

•More clarity on how the “Hub” would work, particularly on how that would be reflected in terms of delivering the Township Plans in the future.

What measures will be taken to ensure effective ongoing communications and engagement during the life of the Strategy? Can the Next Steps section be enhanced to reflect and reassure on this?
