Update from the Children and Young People’s Health and Wellbeing Programme Board
Summary
Background
2. At the Health and Wellbeing Board meeting in January 2022, the Board agreed to the establishment of a Children and Young People’s Health and Wellbeing Programme Board in order to take forward the Board’s priorities around children and young people, as well as other areas of work important for the health of children and young people. As with other subgroups of the Health and Wellbeing Board, there is an expectation that progress of the group is reported back to the Board on a regular basis. This is the first such report of the group to the Board.
Main/Key Issues to be Considered
3. The CYP Programme Board had its first shadow meeting in December 2021 where draft terms of reference were developed that informed the paper that went to the Health and Wellbeing Board in January. The first proper meeting of the Programme Board took place on 18th February. It meets every two months, and has subsequently met on 11th April and 16th June 2022.
4. The early work of the Programme Board has focussed on setting up a task and finish group to develop a new Children and Young People’s Plan for the City. The priorities within this plan are informed by the Children and Young People’s Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA), which the Programme Board have requested. This is a large piece of work and is still underway. The JSNA will be complete in Autumn 2022 with the subsequent Plan being ready shortly after. The Children and Young People’s Plan will set out the priorities of the Programme Board and inform its work plan. The Health and Wellbeing Board will be consulted on formally before the Children and Young People’s Plan is published.
5. The Programme Board has received regular updates on the partnership work with NESTA. This is focussed on improving outcomes in the early years of a child’s life and making early years everyone’s business. In particular, there has been a piece of work on improving the uptake of the 2 year health review that all children should receive. This is an opportunity to identify health needs and ensure problems are identified and dealt with early. The uptake of these reviews is varied across York, but the work with NESTA has helped to identify and address barriers, leading to a 10% increase in uptake in the targeted areas. There is a subgroup taking this work forward that will continue to update the Board on progress made.
6. With the announcement this year of funding for the development of Family Hubs in York, a partnership group has been established to take this work forward. That group has also reported to the Programme Board, and the Board has been able to influence the direction of travel for this piece of work.
7. Since the CYP Programme Board was established there have been changes to the organisation of the health and care system with the creation of the Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care System Board and Place Based Boards. York Place Based Board (formerly the York Health and Care Alliance) is now responsible for local planning and delivery of NHS priorities for maternity and child health services.
8. Initial conversations have indicated that there is no appetite locally to establish a new group reporting to the York Place Board for child and maternal health issues. Therefore it is proposed that the review of the Health and Wellbeing Board and its sub-groups (subject to the separate paper to the Board being approved) include consideration of any changes to the membership and terms of reference for the Children and Young People’s Health and Wellbeing Programme Board that will enable the group to take on these additional responsibilities, reporting to the York Placed Board and the Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated System architecture for maternity and child health as appropriate.
Consultation
9. The paper is for information and no consultation has taken place.
Options
10. None.
Strategic/Operational Plans
11. The work of the Programme Board is to deliver against the strategic priorities in the Health and Wellbeing Strategy relating to starting and growing well. It aligns with the Council Plan objective of improving Health and wellbeing as well as the NHS Long Term Plan.
Implications
12. There are no specialist implications in this report.
Risk Management
13. There are no risks associated with this report.
Recommendations
14. The Health and Wellbeing Board are asked to note the contents of the report.
