Councillor Yvonne Nolan took the position of Chair of the Joint Strategic Commissioning Board Sub-Committee.

 

The Place Director and the Director of Adults, Health and Strategic Commissioning presented their report which set out: the purpose of the Adult Social Care Discharge Fund; how the resources had been allocated; the conditions attached to the funding; and how this had been applied in Wirral. They described how the funding was being used to improve hospital through flow with initial targeted funding used to buy bed capacity through to the end of March 2023 then a ‘Home First’ approach which was the strategic objective, where hospital admissions were avoided and people were released from hospitals sooner with care packages. Future objectives included focussing on residential and nursing settings.

 

The Joint Strategic Commissioning Board Sub-Committee resolved that

(1)   the Adult Social Care Discharge Fund submission be noted. This was approved by the Director of Adult Social Care and Health, Wirral Council in consultation with the Place Director, NHS Cheshire and Merseyside on the delegated authority of the JSCB Sub-Committee.

(2)   a further update report on the application of and outcomes from the Adult Social Care Discharge Fund be brought to a future meeting of the Joint Strategic Commissioning Board and Wirral Place Based Partnership Board.

 

Place Director Simon Banks took the position of Chair.
