Rachel Millson, Senior Strategic Planning and Development Manager provided an update on the Health and Care Plan, advising that the aim of the update is to pull out some key points around how the design was approached, as it has been done differently; and key points in terms of some of the development areas.

In summary, the Board was advised that the Health and Care Plan outlines how the Kirklees Health and Care Partnership, will collectively make changes over the next five years to deliver on the Connected Care and Support priority within the KHWS.

A different approach was taken in the development of the plan this year, as the aim was to make sure it was a systems plan that was representative of all of the partners within the health and Care Partnership.

-          The principle taken, is that it is a live plan and although it has been signed off, the work does not stop, it continues, it is updated and refreshed annually

The Board was informed that a number of different groups and committees have had the opportunity to comment as it was being developed.  It was finally signed off by the Integrated Care Board (ICB) Committee on the 10th of May, and these are the priorities that are within it.

System wide strategic themes/programmes – starting well, living well, aging well

Priority actions – improving access to health care, holistic approach to out of hospital care, crisis response and workforce.

The Board was informed that within the plan, the first two years are very detailed in terms of the changes to be made and the last three years are more outcomes based and aspirational.  Another key point to note, is that the I statements have been integral to the development of the  ...  view the full minutes text for item 9
