The Place Director NHS Cheshire and Merseyside introduced the report which outlined NHS Cheshire and Merseyside’s requirement for each of the nine Place Directors to develop objectives with representatives from their respective places and provided the Wirral Place Directors objectives.

It was outlined that objectives were developed by the Place Director during June and July 2022 in dialogue with key system partners. The objectives reflected the ambitions of the Wirral Plan 2026 and key areas of delivery for the Wirral health and care system in 2022/23. The objectives were approved by the Chief Executive of NHS Cheshire and Merseyside in August 2022. The Board was informed that there was a place outcomes monitoring framework and dashboard underpinning the objectives.

The Board discussed a number of elements of the report including the need for further engagement with the third sector in the delivery of the objectives and the production of future objectives. It was noted that as part of the delivery of the objectives, the Place Based Partnership Board would receive further detail on the winter plans.

On a motion by the Chair, seconded by Councillor Yvonne Nolan, it was –

Resolved – That the objectives of the Place Director (Wirral) be noted and quarterly progress reports on the delivery of those objectives be received, commencing in January 2023.
