A representative of the Director of Public Health submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) presenting for consideration the Health and Wellbeing indicators for the 2^nd quarter of 2014/15. Data was taken from the Council’s quarterly Portfolio Performance and Resources reports for Health and Wellbeing, Adult Social Care and the Children and Young People portfolios.

Board Members discussed the increase in delayed transfers of care. It was suggested that the unexpected rise may be due to problems with the data, but there was also the suggestion that problems with recruitment of private sector care workers was impacting on the availability of private care placements. It was reported that the Council’s Adult Social Care Services was investigating these issues and would report back to the Board if necessary.

A recent report on immunisation rates in Stockport considered by the Health & Wellbeing Scrutiny Committee was also highlighted, and in particular the higher rates of Measles, Mumps & Rubella immunisation in deprived areas of Stockport. It was also commented that the provision of data at a ward level or smaller was useful in identifying trends in health inequalities.

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
