1.Hillingdon’s Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2012-15

The Head of Commissioning, Contracts and Supply introduced the report and the following points were noted:

The key principles of health and wellbeing strategies:

• The key principles of health and wellbeing strategies were that they should be: strategic, look at local assets as well as needs and understand inequalities in the local area. In addition, they should focus on the things that could be done together e.g. added value of pooling budgets and other resources, joint commissioning
• Should prioritise the issues requiring the greatest attention, avoiding the pitfalls of trying to take action on everything all at once.
• The overall aim of health and wellbeing strategies was to jointly agree what the greatest issues were for the local community based on evidence from Joint Strategic Needs Assessments, what could be done to address them and what outcomes were intended to be achieved.
• Values that underpinned good health and wellbeing strategies included:
  1. Setting shared priorities based on evidence of greatest need
  2. Setting out a clear rationale for the locally agreed priorities
  3. Not trying to solve everything but taking a strategic overview on how to address the key issues
  4. Concentrating on an achievable amount
  5. Addressing issues through joint working across the local system
  6. Supporting increased choice and control by people who use services

The Purpose of Hillingdon’s Strategy:

·           This sets out the key priorities that the key health and wellbeing 

partners will be focused on for the next few years

·           Provides an outline of the current situation

·           Identifies areas for improvement and

·           Specific actions and success measures that can be monitored

The Key objectives for the strategy were:

• Improved health and wellbeing and reducing inequalities
• Prevention and early intervention
• Developing integrated, high quality social care and health services within the community or at home
• Creating a positive experience of care
• These objectives frame a series of more specific priorities which the Strategy provides details on.

• Once the priorities have been agreed, it will be possible to develop task and finish groups to take day to day responsibility for the completion of agreed actions, subject to the determination of the Board.

In the course of discussions the following points were raised:

• Members expressed concern that only 127 responses had been received to the consultation survey between 30^th November 2012 and 11^th February 2013, of which 65  ...  view the full minutes text for item 53.
