Board members noted that the Board needed to provide support in future to the development of partnerships to provide clear roles and accountability, with clear focus on clinic and professional leadership. The Board discussed how to improve delivery across partners, extra focus on PCNs and how to coordinate care, specifically with current shielders and the support provided to them. Members noted that Havering had a number of workshops that looked at community hubs and the role they would provide in providing strategic direction regarding health and social care, housing and finance. The Board agreed that PCN chairs should attend future Health and Wellbeing Board meetings. Members also noted that there would be the opportunity to set up integrated services before a potential second wave of COVID-19. It was noted that there was work to be done in the following months to ensure the Board was in line with the NHS long term plan due in April 2021 and it was agreed that the Health and Wellbeing Board would sit with Bronze and Silver groups.

Report and appendix attached.

A verbal update was given on the Boroughs COVID-19 statistics. The Board noted and agreed that this item would be a standing item.

The Board noted that the Silver group received data weekly and that the Health and wellbeing Board would receive that data also. The Board noted that there had been 15 new cases taking Havering to 6 cases per 100,000 people, under the 25 cases per 100,000 for a borough to be placed on the watch list. Members noted that a mobile testing site had been at the Town Hall every third day with particular focus on setting up permanent walk through centres in Rainham and Harold Hill. Board members noted that there had been a big change to Havering’s track and chase but opportunities for support calls remained available, they also noted that there was no link between Havering’s and the NHS’ database as the data would be shared to those areas at the top of the watch list and then filtered down.

There was no other business.
