Report and appendix attached

The Board was presented with the updated guidance released by the Department of Health & Social Care in November 2022.

Members noted that case studies have demonstrated Health & Wellbeing Boards can streamline and avoid duplication of work with other partnerships and boards but is not hugely relevant to the London Borough of Havering. NHS partners suggested to engage with the Board and work towards joint forwards plans which was received well by the Board members.

Mark Ansell agreed to contact Health colleagues in other Boroughs regarding their joint local Health & Wellbeing Board strategies.

The Board noted the report.

Report and appendix attached

The Board were presented with the North East London (NEL) Integrated Care System (ICS) development update.

Members noted the ICS strategy is a partnership strategy across NEL however the partnership had only met once. Members understood that the ICS strategy would have to be aligned to the local Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) and Health & Wellbeing Board strategies. Members noted the plan was to draft a strategy in January 2023 to influence the 5 year delivery plan due to be submitted in March 2023. Members also noted that the Joint Health Overview & Scrutiny Committee scrutinised the strategy but did not have the powers to sign up to any arrangements as that is for the Board to agree on.

The Board noted the report.

Report and appendix attached

The Board was presented with the Cost of Living Strategy.

Members noted the strategy had been formed to help residents who have been identified to require assistance and is a joint strategy, as that allows for better working and a better use of data. Members noted the Council is currently using its own data to identify those households that are at risk especially households that have limited or no access to mobile networks or the internet. Members were assured that the Council wants to help subside and offset the cost of households with a resident who requires 24 hour electrical medical care. The Board noted that the amount of data the Council has is a barrier that has been faced as they are only using household level data.

The Board noted the report.

The date of the next meeting was noted as 25^th January 2023.
