Presenter:       Julia Wallace, Otterpool Park Project Manager – Master Planning and Design, Shepway District Council

Minutes:

The Board received a presentation from Ms J Wallace, Otterpool Park Project Manager – Master Planning and Design (Shepway District Council).

 

Members of the Board were advised that Otterpool Park was a development between landowners Shepway District Council and its partner (the owners of Folkestone Race Course) that would deliver 12,000 new homes over the next 30 years. As part of this development it presented the opportunity to plan for current and future health and social care needs and encourage healthier lifestyles.

 

The presentation sought the Board’s views on the opportunities for improving health services in East Kent, in developing a vision and objectives for health and wellbeing at Otterpool Park and to discuss who needed to be involved.

 

Members of the Board welcomed the opportunity to design in health from the start and Ms J Mookherjee advised that Public Health which was currently involved in a Health Impact Assessment in Ebbsfleet would be happy to assist with the Otterpool Health Impact Assessment.

 

The need to expand William Harvey Hospital to cope with growing population was discussed as was the importance of engaging with local primary care providers and commissioners.

 

Ms K Benbow advised that the South Kent Coast Clinical Commissioning Group was keen to be involved but reminded Board members that the Clinical Commissioning Group’s funding was based on the actual number of people in its area.

 

RESOLVED: That the presentation be noted.

East Kent Strategy Board Briefing pdf icon PDF 116 KB

To receive a presentation.

 

Presenter:       South Kent Coast Clinical Commissioning Group

Minutes:

Ms K Benbow, Chief Operating Officer (South Kent Coast Clinical Commissioning Group) presented the East Kent Strategy Board briefing and the Kent and Medway Sustainability Transformation Plans (STP) update.

 

It was advised that the timeline for the STP had changed following the decision to develop a countywide single model for local (out of hospital) care as well as the amount of work required to be undertaken and the assurance processes for NHS England. The East Kent Strategy Board would continue to operate as a delivery group within the context of the wider Kent and Medway STP.

 

The consultation on the STP was now due to take place in summer 2017 and this would also allow the ‘purdah’ period for the local elections in May 2017 to be completed first.

 

Members of the Board asked for a schedule for the STP to brought to the next meeting.

 

RESOLVED: That the update be noted.

Minutes:

Mr M Needham, Chief Officer for the South Kent Coast Integrated Accountable Care Organisation (IACO) presented the update to the Board.

 

The IACO was a partnership of health and care providers seeking to develop a new system to support people being well and healthy in their own homes. The new system would be co-ordinated by the patients GP and deliver one service provided by one team from one budget. It would redesign care for 200,000 patients in 4 localities (Hythe and Rural, Folkestone, Dover and Deal).

 

Members discussed the need to better map voluntary sector and district council assets as part of the IACO work and acknowledged the variety of different sized organisations in the voluntary sector and their access to funding that was unavailable to the statutory sector.

 

It was agreed to bring the matter back to a future meeting with input from the voluntary sector and district council housing teams.

 

RESOLVED: That the update be noted.

Children and Young People Group Update

To receive an update.

 

Presenter:       Councillor Sue Chandler, Dover District Council

Minutes:

Helen Cook, Kent County Council, presented the Children and Young Peoples Group update.

 

The Board was advised that the aim was to bring together numerous strategies including the KCC Strategic Commissioning Divisional Business Plan 2016-7, South Kent Coast Clinical Commissioning Group 2016-17 Operating Plan and the South Kent Coast Clinical Commissioning Group 2016 Patient Prospectus.

 

In the South Kent Coast Clinical Commissioning Group area the key focuses were:

 

·         Dental hospital admissions

·         Teenage mothers

·         Breast feeding

·         Smoking at the time of delivery

·         Substance misuse hospital admission

 

There were national and local priorities set for the Children and Young Peoples Group and a dashboard was produced every 2 months that gave detailed information in respect of them. The Group was also looking at practical ways in which an indicator could be quickly changed for the better through no/low cost solutions. The example was cited that to improve children’s school grades the first step was to ensure that they were in school.

 

The Group had £44,000 per district for grant applications and once the bids were submitted the local partnership determines how to award the funding in keeping with its priorities. The Board was advised that it was too early to ascertain if the first year of grants had achieved changes.

 

Members discussed the importance of teenagers being able to access advice on sexual health and contraception in East Kent and whether there were a sufficient number of trained GPs.

 

RESOLVED: That the update be noted.
