Place Partnership Briefing - NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Public Engagement Framework Additional documents:
Minutes: The Assistant Director – Communications & Engagement for NHS Cheshire and Merseyside introduced this report which provided an update and sought the involvement of Place partnerships in the development of NHS Cheshire and Merseyside’s Public Engagement Framework and the ten principles that the framework was built around. The partnerships were seen as key to developing effective public involvement mechanisms for local people that, in turn, could inform the work of Integrated Care System (ICS) partners. The request was being taken to all nine Places in Cheshire and Merseyside. It was noted that many partners already had methods of involving people and communities at a local level and that there was a legacy framework from the Clinical Commissioning Groups.
Members offered help in contacting digitally inactive residents and noted there was already a strong brand of Keep Wirral Well.
Resolved That (1) the ten key principles for working with people and communities, as set out in NHS Cheshire and Merseyside’s draft Public Engagement Framework (pg.13) and NHS England’s Working in partnership with people and communities: statutory guidance be endorsed. 2) the feedback and comments on the draft Public Engagement Framework be noted. |
|
Place Review Meetings Additional documents: Minutes: The Place Director, NHS Cheshire and Merseyside, introduced this report which provided an update on the quarterly review meetings with NHS Cheshire and Merseyside which took place on 24th October 2022 and included a self-assessment on four aspects of the performance and governance of the Place. Feedback and requests were received at the meeting.
Resolved That (1) the presentation that was given at the Place Review Meeting on 24th October 2022 be noted. (2) the feedback from NHS Cheshire and Merseyside following the Place Review Meeting be noted. (3) an update on the actions taken in response to this feedback be provided. |

2022/23 Pooled Fund Finance Report to Month 7, September 2022 The Appendix for this item may not be suitable to view for people with disabilities, users of assistive technology or mobile phone devices. Please contact Mike Jones (contact details above) if you would like this document in an accessible format. Additional documents: Minutes: The Chief Finance Officer for NHS Cheshire and Merseyside introduced this report which provided a description of the arrangements that had been put in place to support effective integrated commissioning. It set out the key issues in respect of: a) budget and variations to the expenditure areas for agreement and inclusion within the 2022/23 shared (“pooled”) fund; and b) risk and gain share arrangements. In 2022/23 Wirral Health and Care partners had chosen to jointly pool £248.97m to enable a range of responsive services for vulnerable Wirral residents as well as a significant component of Better Care Funding to protect frontline social care delivery.
Resolved: That it be noted that (1) the forecast position for the Pool at Month 7 is currently a £5.7m overspend position. This is due to CCG / ICB Wirral Place pool commissioned services overspend of £5.9m offset by an underspend on Local Authority Health and Care commissioned services of £0.2m. The ICB Wirral Place holds the financial risks on the £5.9m overspend. (2) the shared risk arrangements are limited to the Better Care Fund only, which is reporting a forecast break-even position. |
