Rachel Milson, Senior Strategic Planning and Development Manager, provided a summary update on the Kirklees Health and Wellbeing Strategy priority, Connected Care and Support.
The Board was informed that the summary update would primarily focus on some of the key achievements. In terms of delivering the Connected Care and Support priority, there has been an agreement that a Health and Care Plan will be developed. This plan will outline how the health and care system will deliver the Connect Care and Support priority, with cross over into the other identified priorities and factors. While the focus will be on Connected Care and Support, it will also recognise the interdependencies with the Healthy Places and the Mental Wellbeing priorities across all of the factors that are described in the Health and Wellbeing Strategy. A group has been established that has membership from all of the key organisations across the health and care system.
A timeline for development has been agreed to align and support the development of the West Yorkshire five-year Strategic Plan and the West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (ICB) Joint Forward Plan. The aim is to connect all the key strategic plans for health and care across the place and the West Yorkshire ICB.
There has been initial discussions with transformation leads across the system. A set of key principles had been agreed from the outset, in terms of the delivery, building on what was already in place. It started with getting an understanding of what people were working on and what their short, medium, and long term priorities or key changes will be over the coming years. That was themed to identified priority programmes and actions which has just started to be taken round to different groups and committees for feedback. Working with the ‘I Statements’ will be a key component of the development of the Health and Care Plan, and the aim is to respond to the ‘I Statements’ particularly those that are identified with the KHWS, predominantly focusing on the Connected Care and Support priority. Further thought will need to be given to how success is measured, linking with the KHWS outcomes framework and the West Yorkshire 10 Big Ambitions.
Currently the focus is on formulating, and the next stage will be to start putting some detail to some of the priorities, getting wider feedback and comments and also ensuring it is connected into the strategic work that is taking place across the West Yorkshire ICB. A further, more detailed update to the Board on this priority will be provided at a future meeting.
