The Director of Corporate Affairs of Wirral Community Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust presented the report of the members of the Wirral Provider Partnership (WPP). She explained that the Partnership had been established by the Wirral Place Based Partnership Board and delivered by the Chief Executives of the provider and partner organisations at Place, each of which remained a sovereign organisation. The WPP was a collective of health and care providers accountable to the Partnership Board and had a shared purpose and focus to deliver against the core principles agreed with system providers that aligned to the Wirral Plan and supported the development and delivery of integrated care for the Wirral. Providers in Wirral would also be part of at-scale Provider Collaboratives within Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care System. There were two system Collaboratives: 1. Acute and Specialist Provider Collaborative; and 2. Community, Mental Health and Learning Disability Provider Collaborative. The report detailed the purposes, membership and terms of reference of the WPP.

Members noted that there was crossover with the Partnership Board and work was ongoing to align the governance framework.

Resolved: That

(1)  the work to establish the Wirral Provider Partnership (WPP) be noted;

(2)  the Terms of Reference for the WPP be noted;

(3)  further work to align governance in Place be supported, reporting back to the Board in June 2023.
