It was reported that there had been one registration to speak at the meeting under the Council’s Public Participation Scheme.

 

Ms Sarah Marrison, Regional Support Officer (North) of Farm Garden, spoke on the Growing Care Farming Project explaining that care farms provide services for individuals with a defined need or diagnosis - most frequently for adults and children with learning disabilities, for people with mental ill-health, dementia, children and adults with ASD, those with a drug or alcohol addiction history, children excluded from school and ex-service personnel with PTSD.  Care farming is the therapeutic use of farming practices where service users regularly attend the care farm as part of a structured health or social care, rehabilitation or specialist educational programme.  Positive outcomes reported from service user feedback had been a feeling of belonging and being part of a team, reducing anxiety and increasing concentration.  Ongoing training for new care farmers with voluntary safety assurance was also part of the network. 

 

Board members were interested to hear about an initiative in York at Beetle Bank Open Farm which currently had 3 or 4 people accessing this service and a number of interested prospective care farmers.  There were opportunities for signposting people to this service.  Service users could continue for as long as they wish to.

 

It was agreed that the lead officer of the Health and Wellbeing Board (HWBB) would circulate Ms Sarah Marrison’s contact information to board members so that she could provide them with further information.

Members of the Health and Wellbeing Board (HWBB) received a report which provided an update on the work to develop a physical activity and sport strategy for York.  The report also contained a request of endorsement from the board.

George Cull and Damien Smith from the leadership team at North Yorkshire Sport were both in attendance to present the report.  They also provided a presentation (which can be found at item 4 of this agenda).

They apologised for the two typos on the report: (i) page 24 Annex 1 ‘in equalities’ should read ‘inequalities’ and (ii) page 28 last bullet point ‘casual’ instead of ‘causal’. 

The Physical Activity and Sports Strategy for York had arisen due to the Health and Wellbeing Annual Report for 2018/19 which had outlined Public Health’s ambition to develop a physical activity strategy.  This resulted in a partnership arrangement with City of York Council (CYC) and North Yorkshire Sport (NYS), who were commissioned to lead the development of a Physical Activity and Sport Strategy for the city.

They outlined the aims of their strategy which included: a strong focus on physical activity as well as supporting core sporting markets; using physical activity and sport to support wider outcomes; connecting and linking with existing strategies within the city and nationally; support existing asset based approaches with communities and galvanising partners to work more effectively with each other, as well as identifying new work areas.

The following information was provided in response to questions from the HWBB members:

·        The strategy aims to run from 2020 – 2030 but was intended to be ongoing for as long as funding was available.

·        The current participation in physical activity figures provided in their presentation had indicated that those from lower socio economic and those with physical disability were doing less exercise. To address this, they spoke about supporting individuals to build confidence and undertaking awareness raising so that people were informed of low cost or free activities that they could access.

·        In response to a board member’s concern that some of the activities listed such as Man v Football league were focused on physical activity which may set people up for disappointment in that physical activity alone would not help someone achieve a healthy weight, they explained that participants were provided with nutritional support and behaviour-change tools and that participants had been successful in achieving weight loss.

·        On campaigns such as “This Girl Can” it was noted that many women would not describe themselves as a girl. This was something that was not in their remit to change as their role was to amplify existing campaigns. 

·        In relation to the funding strategy, referral model and making the existing system work better, they explained that they were not yet at that stage of detail.

·        They considered that funding was available to access provided that there was a clear picture of services and assets available and that they could demonstrate where there was a need for services.

Minutes:

Members of the Health and Wellbeing Board (HWBB) received a report which presented the outcomes from a recent priority setting workshop; including discussions about how these priorities might be delivered through the Health and Wellbeing Board’s sub-structure.

 

Fiona Phillips, Assistant Director, Public Health was in attendance to present the report and to respond to questions.

 

Recommendation A

In relation to recommendation A of the officer’s report that the board consider confirming the priority on ‘Starting and Growing Well’ which would be confirmed by the Corporate Director for Children, Education and Communities once the feedback from the forthcoming peer review had been received.  During discussion on this aspect it was suggested that the YorOK Board, which reports to this committee, would be the most appropriate group to progress this priority. 

·        Board members agreed that the YorOK Board should be tasked to lead on this outcome as they are currently developing the Children and Young People's Plan which would be ready for March 2020, they have a multi-agency approach and the ‘voice of children and young people’ is captured throughout the Plan.  It should be noted that the YorOK Board previously had a statutory duty to produce a  Children and Young People's Plan, however, this is no longer a statutory requirement. 

·        The YorOK Board would consider what the priority for the starting and growing well theme should be.  This would be considered and amended or endorsed at the HWBB.  This would then be would be confirmed by the Corporate Director for Children, Education.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

 

Recommendation D

In relation to the recommendation of option D, to ask the Human Rights Board to take the lead on delivering against the living and working well priority.  The chair expressed some ambivalence regarding whether this was the right group to lead on delivering against this priority.  The board agreed that they would be asked to take the lead, however, this may require further consideration.

Other suggestions for consideration in relation to this item included:

·     To invite Steven Eames to a future meeting for a discussion on NHS integrated systems and its priorities or potentially set the HWBB priorities and values.

·     Primary Care Home Steering Group to ensure that it is an integral part of the Primary Care Network.

 

Resolved:

 

That the Health and Wellbeing Board approved the following options:

(i)           Option A: that for the remainder of the timeframe covered by the current Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy the board would focus on the four priorities set out in paragraph 5 of the officer report with confirmation for the priority around starting and growing well to be confirmed by the Corporate Director of Children, Education and Communities once The YorOK Board had considered what the priority for the starting and growing well theme should be and once the HWBB had amended or endorsed the YorOK Board’s proposals.

(ii)         Option D: Disband the HWBB Steering Group but keep the rest of the existing groups as a delivery mechanism for the board’s priorities and additionally ask the Human  ...  view the full minutes text for item 60.
