Health Related Behaviour - Substance Misuse (20 mins) PDF 687 KB Jon Hobday, Consultant in Public Health to present information on substance misuse. Report attached. Additional documents: Minutes: Jon Hobday, Consultant in Public Health provided an update on substance misuse in Bury.
Substance misuse is a huge public health issue both locally and nationally. Alcohol misuse is costing approximately £3.5 billion a year to the NHS and approximately £21 billion a year to the wider economy. There are approximately 660,000 people who are alcohol dependant nationally, which is approximately 1900 people in Bury.
One in eleven people, aged between 16 and 59, have misused illegal substances within the last 12 months which is approximately 11,000 people in Bury. Alcohol misuse alone is associated to around 60 or more health issues. Alcohol misuse is the biggest risk factor linked to early deaths and ill health in the 15-49 year old cohort.
Substance misuse is associated with unemployment, deprivation and homelessness and linked heavily with family breakdown and criminal activity.
A recent Dame Carol Black review (phase 2) which was specifically focused on substance misuse, found that there was not enough being done nationally to address this as a public health issue and needed significant reform in 4 key areas:
· Leadership · Funding · Commissioning · Rebuilding
The following inequalities for substance misuse were explained:
Statistical information for Bury was shared:
Jon Hobday outlined the work that Bury is doing to address substance misuse. The next steps for Bury are to complete the action plan, continue to review the data and levels of inequality.
Jon Hobday agreed to provide the Board with a breakdown of the information on substance misuse. Public health colleagues attend quarterly performance meetings with the substance misuse provider. The figures are positive, and any glitches in the figures are ... view the full minutes text for item HWB.364 |

Ian Mello, Director of Commissioning, NHS Bury CCG to present information on the Elective Care Transformation Programme and Bury Care Organisation Orthopaedic Improvement Programme. Report and appendix attached. Additional documents: Minutes: Ian Mello, Director of Commissioning provided an update on the work that is being completed in relation to the elective care transformation programme and orthopaedic improvement programme.
Work is being carried out around the recovery position, looking at people on waiting lists through the lens of inclusion, co-production and inequalities. This way of working has not been done anywhere else before. Traditionally, people have been seen as NHS numbers on waiting lists; work is being done to decide how to stratify and understand people’s whole lives. This involves trying to determine the best process to get people to receive interventions, whilst acknowledging clinical priority is the biggest driving force, throughout the debate going forward.
Ian Mello outlined the key areas of work that are taking place:-
Ian Mello made reference to the inequalities framework that has been built in Bury. A meeting took place with Stockport Locality, which is looking to use the inequalities framework to inform further about patient need and understanding.
The next update to the Board will be a technical paper, around the findings of inequalities, inclusion and co-production.
The importance of capturing the learning from this process was explained, as the learning can be embedded into other programmes of work.
Members thought that this was exceptional work and are interested to see the results that come out of the projects.
It was agreed:
1. Note the content of the report and the work undertaken to date. 2. To receive further updates as required.

Chris Woodhouse, Strategic Partnerships Manager to present information on community and person-centred approaches. Presentation attached. Minutes: Chris Woodhouse, Strategic Partnerships Manager provided an update on Community and Person-Centred Approaches to the Board.
The approach is to have a focus around people and communities, in a way that links into the Let’s Do It Strategy and Neighbourhood Model.
Chris Woodhouse explained the principles and behaviours of the approach. The purpose is to look at how services engage with people and to deliver better outcomes in a way that is more effective and efficient.
The approach brings together the way that public services are organised and the way that services engage with communities, looking at people in their entirety of lives by overlapping services and coordinating support around individuals.
The Community Hubs can better link public services to communities and individuals but also recognise an individual may not always require support from a statutory service and can help support them in other ways. The insights generated from data from local communities can be used to inform services.
The LETS principles were explained, these bring together the different approaches to best understand the communities and neighbourhood.
Chris Woodhouse gave an overview of the Public Service Reform Steering Group. The purpose of the group is to ensure the co-ordination of public services, and co-ordinating the person and community centred approaches. The group discusses different opportunities and look at what is working well in a particular neighbourhood, with the benefits to grow the work across the borough and with wider regional colleagues.
Chris Woodhouse gave examples of work that has been done that involved community groups from across the borough. He explained that public service colleagues look at which voluntary services they work with, and which services need to be included. There is a section built into the service level agreement with the voluntary community faith alliance around health and care to have the conversations around LETS principles. At public service leadership meetings these discussions have taken place.
Chris Woodhouse explained that the work would be carried out with services and communities across neighbourhoods focusing on addressing the root cause of inequalities and how to work collectively with public services, voluntary services and communities.
Ian Mello explained routes that demonstrate working with the voluntary sector include work that the Bury Inclusion Working Group is doing in understanding and listening to communities, and the elective mainstream work which has worked with the voluntary sector. Ian Mello feels that public services are working well across the system and are now seeing voluntary sector partners as equals. Ian Mello would like to see a map of where the work that is being done links together.
Chis Woodhouse discussed the work that the Internal Inclusion Working Group had done around community engagement and suggested that Team Bury and partnership meetings could broaden the scope of the group. ... view the full minutes text for item HWB.366 |

Developing Bury as a Population Health System (20 mins) PDF 641 KB Lesley Jones, Director of Public Health to present information on developing Bury as a Population Health System. Document attached. Minutes: Lesley Jones, Director of Public Health advised members of the work that the Population Health Delivery Partnership has been doing to develop Bury as a population health system.
The Health and Wellbeing Board agreed to use the GM adapted Kings Fund model of a Population Health System as a framework. The GM directors of public health, along with engagement of other stakeholders, have been doing some work to further develop the model to try to define the key characteristics of a population health system.
At the first meeting on the Population Delivery Partnership, a self-assessment was completed of Bury’s key characteristics and what some of the next steps might be to further develop ourselves as a population health system. Overall, it concluded that Bury is in a good position, particularly around governance arrangements. Key areas of development were identified, these were around workforce capacity and capability to deliver on the population health agenda, aspects of data, intelligence and research, and shifting investment into prevention.
Lesley Jones invited comments from members with a view of creating an action plan on how Bury can further develop as a population health system.
Councillor Simpson questioned if Greater Manchester has got the manpower to populate a JSNA that is a working document, as previous JSNAs have become out of date very quickly.
Lesley Jones explained that there is a need to develop a web based JSNA, that becomes live and can be a regularly updated tool. To achieve this, it would require investment. Making sure that there is the capability and capacity to support the work is a key area identified.
Councillor Simpson suggested that a JSNA is essential to neighbourhood working and primary care networks and agreed that this work needed investment.
It was agreed:
1. An action plan to be created. 2. That the update and draft GM characteristics of a population health system document be noted. 3. To develop proposals of how Bury can deliver a JSNA.

Case rates in Bury are around 363 per 100,000. There has been an increase in Covid-19 cases within the secondary aged children, and an increase in parental age groups and older adults.
There has been additional advice provided to parents and schools around wearing masks around schools, an increased focus on testing, and daily lateral flow tests before attending school who are household contacts of a case. It is hoped that this will have some impact in helping to contain outbreaks.
There has been an increase in hospital rates, although the number of deaths are stable.
76.8% of eligible cohorts have now had a first dose. The vaccine uptake is generally lower in the younger age groups.
The 12-15 vaccination programme has started. Guidance has been received that the programme can be delivered at out of school provisions, arrangements are being put in place for this. The booster and flu vaccination programme is progressing well.

The difficulties around getting the message across to people was explained. Across Greater Manchester social mixing in almost back to pre-pandemic level.
Councillor Simpson acknowledged the good work around the vaccination programmes in Bury, as nationally it is reported that areas are behind with the covid booster and children’s vaccination programmes.
