Minutes:

Jason Oxley Assistant Director, Health and Care Outcomes introduced the report of the Director for Health & Care (DASS) that provided the 2018/19 Quarter 4 (January - March 2019) performance report for the Wirral Plan pledges under the remit of the Adult Care and Health Overview and Scrutiny Committee.

 

The report, included as Appendix 1 to the cover report, provided an overview of the progress in Quarter 4 and available data in relation to a range of outcome indicators and supporting measures.

 

The Year End closedown report was included as Appendix 2 and provided a summary analysis of performance against measures and Wirral Plan delivery of Pledge strategy actions at year end.

 

The report also included further performance information that had been requested by Members to enable effective scrutiny. The Adult Social Care and Health Performance Overview was included as Appendix 3 and had been developed following Member feedback to include key performance across health and social care.

 

Assistant Director, Health and Care Outcomes informed the Adult Care and Health Overview and Scrutiny Committee that in support of the Relevant Wirral Plan 20/20 pledge(s) i.e. Older People Live Well, People with Disabilities Live Independent Lives and Zero Tolerance to Domestic Violence a number of successful actions had been completed resulting in improved statistics. These included:

 

·  Good feedback on door knocks - 211 conversations, many resulting in service referrals.

·  126 people volunteering - above expected target

·  Employment for 50+ age group has risen

·  People with disability living independently – highest rate since plan started.

·  Domestic abuse – increased number of mentors

·  Family safety referrals increase 20%

 

Less positive news had been highlighted by the statistics, namely that the healthy life expectancy had fallen for women, however the reasons for this were being investigated.

 

The Chair thanked Mr Oxley for his report and requested that a report on domestic abuse, use of women’s refuges and finance be prepared for a future meeting of the Committee, or possibly as a subject of a Scrutiny Workshop session.

 

Resolved – That the report be noted.
