Agenda and minutes

Apologies for absence were received from Councillors Jonathan Bianco, Keith Burrows and Scott Seaman-Digby, Dr Ian Goodman (Dr Tom Davies was present as his substitute), Mr Jeff Maslen (Mr Stephen Otters was present as his substitute) and Ms Sharon Daye (Statutory Director of Public Health).

RESOLVED: That the minutes of the Shadow Board meeting held on 19 February 2013 be agreed as a correct record. 

RESOLVED: That the minutes of the meeting held on 9 May 2013 be agreed as a correct record. 

This was confirmed.  Those present were reminded that, if a report they had prepared for the meeting contained confidential information, this must be brought to the attention of Democratic Services to ensure that the item was placed in Part II.

To note the new Terms of Reference and membership and agree the co-opted members.

Consideration was given to the Board’s Terms of Reference, voting rights and membership.  National regulations dictated that all voting members of the Board must sign up to the Council’s Code of Conduct.  As such, a briefing would be arranged for those non-Councillor Board members that had voting rights.

It was agreed that Ms Jean Palmer, Deputy Chief Executive and Corporate Director of Residents Services, be appointed as a co-opted member of the Board with voting rights.  This would be reflected in the revised membership which would need to be considered and agreed at the Council meeting on 12 September 2013.

The Board considered its non-voting co-opted membership.  It was agreed that Royal Brompton and Harefield NHS Foundation Trust be added to the list of co-opted members and that the Hillingdon Clinical Commissioning Group be permitted to have a second co-opted member.  It was also agreed that the co-opted members be permitted to have a named substitute member. 

RESOLVED:  That the Board:

1.      note the Board’s Terms of Reference and Standing Orders and forward the agreed amendments to Council for consideration and ratification on 12 September 2013;

2.      agree the proposed voting arrangements as set out in the report and Terms of Reference; and

3.      note the Statutory Board Membership and forward the agreed amendments to the co-opted membership to Council for consideration and ratification on 12 September 2013.

Consideration was given to the report.  The Board agreed that the meeting scheduled for 1 August 2013 would not be cancelled.   Amendments to the Work Programme were agreed as follows:

• 31 October 2013 – Draft Commissioning Intentions 2014/2015 (CCG)
• 6 February 2014 – Operating Plan Annual Report (CCG)
• Standard Item – S106 Health Contributions (LBH)
• Date TBC – Use of Integration Fund (CCG)

The Board was reassured that the recently released census data had reflected officers’ predictions and that the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) would continue to be updated with the latest information as it became available. 

Ms Ceri Jacob, Hillingdon CCG, advised that the CCG’s 2013/2014 Operating Plan had been published and that this information could easily be shared with the Board as a range of targets were being monitored. 

RESOLVED:  That the Board:

1.      note the Board’s operation and reporting requirements;

2.      update the Board Planner / Work Programme as agreed;

3.      agree to monitor the implementation of the Joint Health & Wellbeing Strategy on a regular basis; and

4.      note the dates of future Board meetings.

It was noted that a report in relation to public health would be considered by Cabinet at its meeting on 25 July 2013.  Although the Council would not be participating in the Integrated Pioneer Programme, the Council would be working up its own robust integrated care model with partners.  A sub-committee would be established to progress this matter and would comprise Councillors Puddifoot (ex-officio), Corthorne, Mills and Simmonds and one representative from the Hillingdon CCG and The Hillingdon Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.  Other organisations could be included in this work as it progressed.  It was anticipated that this work could potentially result in a bid for additional Government funding in the future. 

RESOLVED:  That:

1.      the Board note progress to date with the integration of Public Health into Council business; and

2.      a sub-committee be formed to look at establishing a local integrated care model.

Consideration was given to the Healthwatch Hillingdon update report.

RESOLVED:  That the Board note the report.

Consideration was given to the s106 report.  It was noted that there had been an issue that had arisen in relation to the Porter’s Way s106 money but that this had now been resolved.  To ensure that the s106 monies were monitored, an update report would be produced for consideration at each Board meeting.  The report would separate the s106 agreements so that it was clear where the money could be spent and by whom. 

Concern was expressed at the slow progress of the Yiewsley Health Centre agreement.

The Board was advised that the next Local Medical Committee (LMC) meeting would consider approving a new and fairer system for GP practices to bid for s106 money.

RESOLVED:  That the Board:

1.      note the progress and approach taken towards the allocation and spend of s106 healthcare facilities contributions within the Borough; and

2.      receive a s106 update report at each of its meetings.

Consideration was given to the report.

RESOLVED:  That the Board note the progress to date with the Winterbourne View Joint Improvement Plan and the information submitted to NHS England setting out progress.

Consideration was given to the report.  It was noted that the current CCG financial recovery plan ran from 2013 until 2016 and included assumptions about changes to the population during that period.  The CCG was happy to share its monthly financial monitoring report with the Board. 

RESOLVED:  That the Board:

1.      notes the Operating Plan 2013/2014, the draft integrated strategy 2013-2016 and the Month 2 PMO report; and

2.      considers the CCG’s 2013-2016 Recovery Plan at its next meeting on 1 August 2013.
