The Deputy Place Lead submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) presenting the One Health and Care Plan (OHACP) as the single plan for health and care from 2024-2029, developed through extensive engagement with our local people. The plan built on existing organisational strategies with the aim of improving support to local people through increased collaboration.

The following comments were made/issues raised:-

·         In relation to engagement, the Board queried the level of attendance at the pop up events across the borough and how the events had been advertised.

·         In response, it was commented that the events had been advertised and were well attended, and that further detail regarding attendance would be circulated to Members outside the meeting.

·         The Board welcomed the plan and commented that the document described how partners across the health and care system would work together to best use the resources in the locality linking in with both the healthy life expectancy and One Stockport: One Future work.

·         It was noted that Stockport was the first of the ten localities within Greater Manchester to create a joint integrated plan for health, social care and public health.

·         The Board welcomed the recognition and commented on the importance of bringing together more closely health and care staff to support people safely in their own homes for as long as possible and following hospital admissions in order to achieve outcomes at a neighbourhood level.

·         It was noted that at the last meeting of the Integrated Care Partnership Board there was a discussion around the availability of £5m across Greater Manchester for investment in primary community health facilities.

·         The Board recognised the challenges being experienced by colleagues across health and social care and welcomed the high level, ambitious strategy detailing what could be achieved through collaboration with locality partners.

·         In relation to risk management, it was queried how the risks around delivery were being managed.

·         In response, it was commented that risk was being managed through the Performance, Improvement and Assurance Group which reported into the Locality Board and managed the risk register and delivery of the plan through the one, three and five year cycles. It was noted that whilst the plan was clear about the ambitions within the locality, there was a degree of flexibility to respond to changes to policy or the financial landscape.

·         The Board welcomed the inclusion of mental health, learning disability and autism within the plan.

·         It was commented that workforce was a significant challenge and queried how this plan would support the system in improving the collaboration around the workforce including deploying the right skills in the right places.

·         In response, it was commented that there was a piece of work around community services across Greater Manchester including the workforce in the community and how some of those skills could be transferred into neighbourhoods through reshaping and reorganising to use the current resources in different ways.  

·         It was queried how the plan would be utilised to ensure that Voluntary, Community, Faith and Social Enterprise sector colleagues had a level of parity in terms of decision making in relation to resources, skills and expertise to drive forward the ambitions.

·         In response, it was noted that conversations were ongoing at a Greater Manchester level to bring together colleagues across all sectors including the Voluntary, Community, Faith and Social Enterprise sector.

·         It was stated that the plan had been developed with frontline services and there had been a conversation around the ambition versus the reality of the current landscape including resource demands and the performance of health and care services in Greater Manchester. It was commented that the next step would include agreeing the delivery plans and the January meeting of the ONE Stockport Health & Care Locality Board would be dedicated to a session with partners to complete some of the delivery plan to ensure that it was grounded in the current financial position.

·         The Board commented on the importance of other housing associations who had the money and resources to increase investment in the work of the plan.

·         In relation to NHS transformation, it was queried if work was being done to create a cultural change across the system to move from an organisational to a whole system approach.

·         In response, it was commented that any suggestions in relation to organisational and cultural development support was welcomed.

RESOLVED – That the final draft of the One Stockport Health and Care Plan 2024 – 2029 be agreed.
