A representative of the Director for Adult Social Care submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) providing a final draft of Stockport’s One Health and Care Plan with Members which had been developed over the course of the past 8 months and was one of a suite of documents that would support the delivery of the One Stockport Borough Plan.

The Cabinet Member for Adult Care and Health (Councillor Jude Wells) attended the meeting to respond to Members’ questions.

The following comments were made/issues raised: -

·         It was commented that Stockport in comparison to other authorities usually gets appropriate funding, but concern was expressed regarding the assurance relating to the levels of inequality across the borough and whether the residents would get a fair deal across the borough. In response, it was commented that evidence would be gathered from across the borough relating to health outcomes and people’s happiness to measure the outcomes. It was also stated that inequalities were advocated for and it was regularly highlighted and compared to other boroughs.

·         Clarification was sought regarding the funding from Government to Stockport and the impact this would have if the funding was not forthcoming. In response, it was stated that Stockport would do its best to advocate for the people of Stockport and the plan itself provides the opportunity to maximise the benefit of the funding envelope. It was also stated that it was important to get the right systems in place to invest the money in the areas where it was needed most and to work around the inequalities for the best outcomes for the people of Stockport.

·         It was noted that the report references ‘doing the best for the young people’ although there are young people across the borough who are dis-effected especially over the last 18 months which has now resulted in a spike in anti-social behaviour.

·         Comments were made relating to the importance of open and green spaces across the borough and the impact on mental health and wellbeing and the use and maintenance of these spaces. In response, it was stated that the points raised were important and this plan encompasses a number of themes including the crossover with the borough plan and links with the priorities.

·         It was commented that work was underway to focus on the response to both the Inequalities Commission report and the GM Marmot recommendations and how it was tangibly being delivered through boards, actions and the plans, all of which were integral to the inequalities across the borough.

·         Clarification was sought regarding the person being employed to work with the Director of Public Health and what their remit would be. In response, it was stated that their remit would include building on the different plans and working on evidence-based findings to make the difference and put those findings into the plan and providing actions to address the inequalities.

·         It was commented that the plan was great and that the best should be done to give the residents the best.

The team were thanked and applauded for the report and its contents relating to its use of language and proposed plans.

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.

The following comments were made/issues raised: -

·         Welcomed the report and its brilliant content which was high quality and reflects the NHS.

·         Really good to see the emphasis on mental health and the key issues around the impact of Covid on mental health issues.

·         It was suggested that consideration should be also be given too wider determinants of unemployment and the impact on mental health & wellbeing and the more broader aspect of just accessing services.

·         Pleased to see the prevention agenda included in the report, as it was not a quick approach, but a long term strategy.

·         It was noted that the report did reflect the different approach and how it would be adopted and changed to include training and development on cultural competencies for the right interventions at the right time.

·         Colleagues were commended for the comprehensive report and the road map identifying what needs to be done was appreciated including the contributions from Adult Social Care.

RESOLVED – That the report be noted and the recommendations be endorsed.
