The Director of Adults, Health and Strategic Commissioning presented the report of the Place Director (Wirral), NHS Cheshire and Merseyside which outlined the delivery dashboard for the programmes within the Wirral Place Health and Care Plan which provided an oversight of the whole programme portfolio, provided a monthly narrative update and Red Amber Green rating of overall programme delivery, benefits, risks and issues.  It was highlighted that population health was largely centred around prevention and to engage communities to improve their health. It was noted that there continued to be significant demand on the Wirral Place system and resources continued to be challenged so it was important to ensure that best value continued to be delivered by transforming and improving services. It was highlighted that workforce was critical to delivery across the social care system to ensure sufficiency to deliver against the programmes and challenges that Wirral had. There was an emphasis on work in the digital space which was about enabling more innovation and efficiency whilst making sure people were not excluded. It was recognised that under the medical optimisation programme medication was not always the best form of treatment or support.

It was clarified to members that the EHCP plans were rated as green as this rating referred to the RAG rating of the programme and the work that had been done around improvement and implementation of transformation and this was discussed. It was suggested that there could be a section added regarding what the current situation was in Wirral and what improvement was planned in terms of the programme itself to give clarity around what was to be improved and what progress had been made.

Resolved: That the overview of the delivery and oversight of the Health and Care Plan programmes to the Wirral Place Based Partnership Board as set out in this report be noted.
