Under reference to item 6 of the Minute of the meeting of this Joint Board held on 24 June 2016 the Chief Officer submitted a report providing a mid-year update on the progress being made by the HSCP to implement the 2016/17 Change and Improvement Programme and deliver its intended benefits and outcomes.
The report intimated that the purpose of the 2016/17 Change and Improvement Programme was to establish a health and social care service which was managed and delivered through a single organisational model in order to optimise the benefits which could be derived from integration; and frame the delivery of social care savings and service improvement work.
DECIDED:
(a) That the progress being made to deliver the HSCP’s 2016/17 Change and Improvement Programme, as detailed in the appendix to the report, be noted;
(b) That it be noted that the current programme of work, at present, did not take into account NHSGG&C saving targets to be delivered during 2016/17;
(c) That it be noted that a further update report would be submitted to the next meeting of the IJB and that a final Programme Closure report would be submitted to the meeting of the IJB scheduled to be held on 23 June 2017;
(d) That it be noted that the Chief Officer would continue to work with his senior management team and with other Chief Officers and their management teams to develop a longer term transformational vision and approach to change which would deliver on the IJB’s priorities and outcomes set out in the Strategic Plan in line with its Financial Plan;
(e) That it be noted that a draft 2017/18 Change and Improvement Programme would also be submitted to the meeting of the IJB to be held on 23 June 2017; and
(f) That it be noted that an annual report on the delivery of the HSCP’s Organisational Development and Service Improvement Strategy would be submitted to the next meeting of the IJB. This report would provide reassurance to members on the work being progressed by the HSCP to ensure staff and managers were supported through the change process, to build greater capability for change within the organisation, and to ensure staff were appropriately equipped to carry out the requirements of their job roles.
