New indicators have been added to the dashboard as per the NHS Operational Planning Guidance, and that in the future they plan to incorporate an inequalities drill down. Helen Smith shared a PowerPoint presentation and provided a summary of each indicator and an overview of the data. The indicators that were discussed were cardiovascular disease (CVD), cancer, mental health, stroke, diabetes, chronic respiratory, chronic kidney disease, musculoskeletal (MSK) and maternal and child health.

Lesley Jones highlighted that in terms of CVD, there is a real focus to improve the impact on primary and secondary care with an approval through Cabinet being made for £550k to invest in neighbourhood teams. The work completed around CVD will have a positive impact around strokes.
