Presented By: Andrew Webb

Minutes:

AW described the content of the presentation.  AGMA Wider Leadership Team (WLT)/police/PCC have received this and this has been endorsed for action. 

 

Integrated care and health for younger children: CML is heavily involved in this work - linking up with the work being carried out in ASC/H≻ early intervention is at the core.

 

In order to support implementation of such a complex programme a decision has been taken in principal to try and draw down as much as possible from the DfE innovation fund, and there is some public money already available.  Then to move forward towards more consistent standards; more robust processes with continual evaluation of work.

 

AK: GM Spatial Framework is going forward - does this link into this? Most housing is linked to first time buyers across GM – we do try to link with schools organisation here, but is this the same across GM?  AW believes this is being taken into account, and definitely in areas such as Salford and Manchester where the growth in numbers of young children has been greatest.

 

Integrated health care workstream: starts in May and includes CAMHS and paediatric acute care; which is useful as the FT here is focussing on different types of care. 

 

ML asked what opportunities are there for colleagues from the 3rd Sector to be updated/involved in areas of the work programme in which they have an interest? 

AW cannot answer the question at this time but will ask for a response at the next steering group and feedback.
