The Corporate Director of Children, Education and Communities advised that York was well placed with activities in the city and suggested that he could look into the work of Ward Committees and Shine magazine. He further suggested that the YorOk Board could be asked to undertake an audit of activities and report back to the HWBB at a future meeting. The Chief Executive of York CVS mentioned their intention to map what was happening in the city against all themes and priorities of the joint health and wellbeing strategy in order to identify gaps. This was being done as part of the ageing well operational activity and would take place later this year. This would be reported back to the Health and Wellbeing Board at a future meeting.

Student Health Needs Assessment pdf icon PDF 98 KB

This report asks the Health & Wellbeing Board (HWBB) to approve the publication and dissemination of the Student Health Needs Assessment (SHNA).

Annex B is available online.

 

 

Additional documents:

Minutes:

Board members gave consideration to a report on the recently completed York Student Health Needs Assessment (SHNA). The report asked the Board to approve the publication and dissemination of the SHNA. The report also asked the Board to support the main recommendation from the SHNA which was the formation of a multi-agency partnership to continue to develop the student health agenda based on the SHNA findings.

 

In presenting the report, the Public Health Specialist Practitioner Advanced explained that the SHNA had been a valuable piece of work with a focus on those students attending higher education institutions. He reported that 15% of the population in York were students in further or higher education and that there had been 1827 survey responses. He gave a summary of the SHNA findings to the Board.

 

Board members welcomed the SHNA findings and made the following comments:

 

·        The Chair asked if, as a result of this piece of work, things were improving in relation to student health and it was confirmed that they were;

·        The health needs of international students were included within the needs assessment;

·        A Board member queried if the educational institutions in the city contributed financially to the police or health services for the increased demand on services from students. The Chair responded by saying that they didn’t necessarily do this but  the University of York and York St John University had spent money on supporting their students in other ways such as investing in student mental health services at the University of York and setting up a drop in centre at York St John University;

·        A Board member highlighted the findings for students’ mental health and the Public Health Specialist Practitioner Advanced advised that more detailed data on this was available;

·        A Board member asked if health services in the city received resources to support the 31,000 students in addition to the permanent York population. It was explained that GP surgeries received funding based on their practice population. The North Yorkshire Police Deputy Chief Constable explained that the funding formula for the police did not take into account the transient population and only included the permanent population;

·        The SHNA report had been distributed to key people in York’s educational institutions;

·        The Chair suggested that information could be provided during Freshers’ weeks. The Manager of Healthwatch York suggested that this could be picked up by Healthwatch York. It was further suggested that students who were campus community champions could present such information at Freshers’ weeks.

·        It was suggested that the HWBB (or representatives of) present the SHNA to the Higher York Board

·        For recommendation two in the report (re: formulating a multi-agency partnership) the HWBB felt that rather than setting up a wholly new body, the existing York Student Mental Health Network (YSMHN) could be re-purposed to address student health and wellbeing more broadly. This group already contained most of the key student health agencies in York. Links could also be made to other existing groups where appropriate.

Better Care Fund Update pdf icon PDF 186 KB

This report updates the Health and Wellbeing Board (HWBB) on progress in relation to the development of the BCF submission for 2017/19.

Minutes:

The Health and Wellbeing Board received a report from the Joint Chair(s) of the York Better Care Fund (BCF) Performance and Delivery Group. This was a status report on the draft Better Care Fund (BCF) Plan for 2017/19 that updated the Board on progress in relation to the development of the BCF submission for 2017/19.

 

The Director of Joint Commissioning NHS Vale of York Clinical Commissioning Group updated Board members on the process for compiling the report. She advised that the planning guidance had been issued on 4 July 2017 and the BCF submission would be rewritten in line with the newly received guidance.

 

The Director of Joint Commissioning NHS Vale of York Clinical Commissioning Group reported that good progress was being made towards the draft investment schedule and there was a balanced investment plan against the £15.3million budget. In response to a question from a Board member she explained the process of agreement and expenditure of the balanced plan. Board members were advised that the investment plan had been taken to and supported by the Better Care Fund Task Group.

 

In terms of existing schemes support from the Local Government Association (LGA) and NHS England to ensure monitoring and effectiveness remained a part of ongoing arrangements, the intention was to invest in those schemes which were already in place and then add to the scope and spread of services. There was no intention to establish a risk sharing agreement this year. It was reported that the BCF submission needed to be submitted to NHS England by 11 September 2017 and this would be brought to the HWBB meeting on 6 September for sign off by the Board.

 

The Director of Joint Commissioning NHS Vale of York Clinical Commissioning Group reported that in terms of guidance, there was a requirement to:

     i.        Agree the delayed transfers of care; and

    ii.        Approve a minimum reduction of 3.5% by 21 July 2017.

 

It was noted that the template for this hadn’t been received and it wasn’t known where the baseline for this would be taken from; it was therefore difficult for the Board, at this stage, to approve the minimum reduction.

 

The Accountable Officer, NHS Vale of York Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) explained that nationally, there had been a good alignment of the Better Care Fund. He commended the work of the Corporate Director Health, Housing and Adult Social Care, City of York Council’s team and he thanked Corporate Director Health, Housing and Adult Social Care, City of York Council and his team for their work.

 

Director of Joint Commissioning NHS Vale of York Clinical Commissioning Group confirmed that the LGA and NHS England would produce the baseline figure. A number of Board members expressed concerns as to the timescales and the 3.5% reduction when it was not known what the baseline figure would be.

 

Resolved:  That the Health and Wellbeing Board note the issues set out in the report.

 

Reason:     HWBB oversight of BCF.
