Agenda item

Lesley Jones, Director of Public Health will report at the meeting.  Report will be sent to follow.

Jon Hobday, Public Health Consultant presented the Children and Young People’s Integrated Health and Wellbeing Outline Business Case.

This project focuses on integrating the commissioning of children and young people’s services in Bury for the first time building on the work of the Early Years Delivery Model.  The aim is to realise better outcomes for children through fully integrated services for children and young people across health, social care and wellbeing aligned with neighbourhood working.  The project will also act as a test bed for integrated commissioning across the CCG and Council in support of the developing single commissioning entity.

The Board is asked to consider the objectives of the project:

·         Improve outcomes & reduce inequalities for children, young people and their families in Bury;

·         Procure appropriate service providers to help develop and deliver an innovative, person centred and suitable service for the Children and Young People of Bury;

·         Align Children’s and Young People’s Health and Social Care services in Bury and reduce duplication; Improve data storing and sharing systems;

·         Commission a cost effective service recognising that budgets are reducing;

·         Make use of community assets to support services as appropriate;

·         Develop a single outcomes framework;

·         Ensure risk and returns are shared across partner organisations.

In response to a Member’s question, the Public Health Consultant reported that the purpose of this initial report is in the first instance to map the services in the Borough.  As the project develops full governance framework will be established.

Delegated decision:

Further details in respect of the Children and Young People’s Integrated Health and Wellbeing Outline Business Case will be considered at a future meeting of the Health and Wellbeing Board.
