Health and Wellbeing Board	14 September 2022
Report of the Corporate Director of Adult Services and Integration, and Interim Director of Children Services. City of York Council.

1. Summary

This report provides an update on the work of the Place board, as well as detail minutes of previous health and care alliance meetings as requested by HWBB members.

2. Update.

Following the last update to the Health and Wellbeing Board (HWBB) in July further work has been undertaken to finalise our place plan and agree our place prioritises. Partners agree that the York place intention is to collaborate better, integrate further and deliver services that match the need of the population based on neighborhood delivery. Through the York Place Board.  we are working with the Integrated care System (ICS) through the Integrated Care Board (ICB) to seek further delegation of functions, and algin future delivery to the emerging ICS strategy and the York Health and Wellbeing Strategy, both strategies are currently being developed with partners and citizens.  

A prospectus has also been developed and agreed, this prospectus highlights specific areas of focus and has been designed with citizens stakeholders and the care sector. The prospectus has supported the designing of the York place plan and supports further integration of health and social care across all age groups.

Through the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) we have a stronger sense of the needs of our population, and this is forming the basis of our Health and Wellbeing Strategy devised by partners and led by the DPH.

As part of our place plan, we have also clearly identified six key priorities these are for York to:

1. Become a health generating city

2. Make good health more equal across the city

3. Prevent now and avoid later harm

4. Start good health and wellbeing young

5. Build York to become a mentally health city

6. Build a collaborative, integrated health, and care system

The Place board recognises that the priorities agreed in our plans are ambitious However we believe these achievable, with both Primary Care and the voluntary sector playing a large part in the delivery of theses and reducing health inequalities across ward areas. Through our data, partners are able to priorities areas of needs as well as ensure we collective commission and deliver future services in a informed way.

The Better Care Fund (BCF) further supports the further delivery a place focusing on reducing delays in hospital, enhancing reablement, and creating community service collaboration. A fuller BCF submission plan will be presented to the HWBB later in the year.

Partners have presented a place plan to the ICB and this plan can be found in Appendix 1, this plan provides a clear picture of our strengths and weakness as well as clear plans for the Place system to take forward. Through the Place board we will take these plans forward and develop individual implementation plans through working groups and their chairs.

Progress has also been made in regard to the recruitment of a NHS Place Director, Simon Bell is currently the interim Place Director whilst recruitment is ongoing, this arrangement supports the ongoing work of the system and creates stability and continuation of health delivery collectively with partners and statutory agencies. There are several next steps highlighted below as we continue to develop as a Place system.

Next steps

The Place board has built on the work completed by the York Health and Care Alliance and will continue to develop the work outlined in appendix 1. The next steps for the board are to:

1. Agree subgroups to support delivery at place, report to be presented at next Place Board, in September.

2. Agree ToRs for the Place board aligned closely to the other Place boards across the region. Tors presented at next place board in September.

3. Support the HWBB strategy and alignment with the 5yrs ICS strategy

4. Deliver the priorities outlined in the York Place plan on a page (appendix 1)

5. Develop robust performance across the system as well as clear understanding of financial implications and opportunities.

6. Further alignment of governance processes aligning with the ICB expectations.

The HWBB will continue to receive updates as the Place Board further develops and services implemented.
