It was agreed that separate discussions take place with Dave Bevitt with regard to input from the Third Sector into the Joint Service Assessment.

Approximately 30 minutes will be set aside for Public Question Time, if required.

There were no questions from members of the public.

A Briefing Note from the Executive Director for Adult Care Services was submitted which provided the background to action taken by the Department of Health following a BBC Panorama investigation into patient abuse at the Winterbourne View Hostel in South Gloucestershire.  As a result, both Health and Local Authority Services have been working towards improving quality of care for people with both complex needs and learning disabilities.

Stuart North submitted and presented an update on the Winterbourne View Joint Improvement Programme which included an initial stock take of progress against Key Winterbourne View C0oncordat Commitment.

Delegated decision:

That the report be noted.

                Stuart North submitted and presented the current Joint Action Plan which had been developed in response to the Francis Review.  The Plan would be presented to the Clinical Commissioning Group.

                Current arrangements with regard to complaints were not considered to be sufficiently rigorous and it was intended in future to ensure that scrutiny of individual complaints was enabled.  It was also intended that Francis would feature prominently in the operational groups of the children’s Trust Board and Adult Safeguarding Board.

                There would also be a review of what happens with regard to staff complaints.

                   Delegated decision:

                That the report be noted.

A statement will be made at the meeting.

Stuart North informed the Board that a Model of Care with options for delivery had been produced and would be made available for consultation towards the end of November/early December 2013.

The Board considered the following documents which had been submitted:-

·         Collation of Executive Summaries of Greater Manchester Integrated Care Plans;

·         A presentation document depicting “the story so far….”

It was reported that Integrated Care in Bury aimed to:

·         Ensure people take responsibility for their own Health and Wellbeing through self care, ownership and accountability of their lifestyles.

·         Provide information and access to advice to help people understand what is available in the community to facilitate them taking ownership and accountability for their lifestyles.

·         Where someone requires support; the support will involve the person’s/family’s natural circle of support and maximise the use of the community assets.

·         Integration to facilitate this approach by providing, by the right workforce in localities, in t he right place at the right time.

The presentation also focused on:

·         Shared Vision and Commitments

·         Shared Design Principles

·         Partner Involvement

·         Governance Arrangements

·         The Concept Model

·         The Enabling Work Stream

·         Achievements to Date

A crucial point was seen to be how data is shared so that clients just provide information once and the means are in place to share this between services.

Delegated decision:

That the report be noted.

The Executive Director of Adult Care Services submitted a Competence Assessment Process Summary which had been compiled on behalf of the Board and allowed individuals to test competency levels; identify gaps and identify training needs. 

Board Members discussed how development could be achieved through “Buddying” and “Champions” for particular services working together.

Delegate decision:

That the report be noted.
