Integration and Better Care Fund

To receive the Integration and Better Care Fund 2017/18 – 2018/19 and an update on the mobilisation of the plan in alignment with the Out of Hospital Strategy and the procurement of Community Health Services.

Minutes:

 

The Board considered a report on the Integration and Better Care Fund 2018/18 - 2018/19 and received an update on the mobilisation of the Plan in alignment with the Out of Hospital Strategy and the procurement of Community Health Services.

 

The Integration and Better Care Fund Policy Framework for the 2017-19 Better Care Fund had been published in March 2017.

 

The 2017-19 Plan had five broad schemes which were built on the last 2 reiterations of the Better Care Fund:

      Prevention and Early Intervention

      Delivering Integrated and Improved Outcomes through Out of Hospital Services

      Integrated Health and Care Hubs

      Enhanced Care in Care Homes

      High Impact Change Model.

 

The Better Care Fund (BCF), Out of Hospital (OOH) Strategy and Collaborative Investment and Savings Programme (CISP) work was set out in Appendix 3 of the report. Work had been taking place on a diagram to illustrate the links between the individual complex programs and to identify synergies.

 

The key focus and emphasis of the Better Care Plan (BCP) needed to be clarified in terms of national pressures and emphasis. Further work also needed to take place on delayed transfers of care, unplanned admissions and also with care homes.

 

The Chairman thanked officers for the work on the Integration and Better Care Fund Plan 2017/18 – 2018/19.

 

RESOLVED

 

1.    that the submission of the Integration and Better Care Fund Plan 2017-19, the outcome of the assurance process and the strategic alignment of the Integration and Better Care Fund Plan to the STP’s Priorities and the emerging Out of Hospital Strategy, be noted; and

 

2.    the revised governance framework establishing a Transformation Board for Central Bedfordshire as a sub-group of the Health and Wellbeing Board be approved.

 

The decision was unanimous.
