Jon Develing introduced the report ‘NHS Wirral CCG STP Report’ and summarised the highlights that were relevant to Wirral residents in particular. He expressed his appreciation of the levels of anxiety surrounding the STP and the concern about the lack of engagement with elected members. Mr Develing apologised for the way the report had been developed and published. He said it was important, however, to ground the report in the considerable achievements that had been made in Wirral through the Healthy Wirral Plan that had previously endorsed by the Health and Well-being Board.

 

The Board was informed that the Cheshire and Wirral Local Delivery System Plan (LDS) covered a wide geographical area and built on existing improvement programmes including Heathy Wirral, Caring Together, The West Cheshire Way and Connecting Care. It was clear however that increased demand on health services coupled with an ageing population meant that should no further action be taken there would be an estimated financial gap of circa £314m by 2020. The development of the Local Delivery System Plan across Cheshire & Wirral had provided the opportunity to share best practice and consolidate learning so as to explore rapid adoption of those initiatives that have had the most impact.

 

Mr Develing highlighted the four key priorities
