The minutes of the meeting held on 20 September 2017 were agreed as a correct record and signed by the Chairman.

There were no further comments on the notes of the inquorate meeting of the Board held on 20 September 2017 and the following items were therefore agreed by the Board:

AGENDA ITEM 13: THE DEVELOPMENT OF A JOINT HAVERING AND BARKING & DAGENHAM SUICIDE PREVENTION STRATEGY

It was noted that this strategy was required to be agreed by the end of 2017.

It was agreed:

• to note that that there is a joint strategy in development
• to receive and comment on the final draft strategy and action plan in November 2017
• that, in order to meet the deadline that plans be produced by end 2017, the Chairman may subsequently take action to approve final versions of the strategy and action plan
• to confirm that, for Havering, the governance of the Suicide Prevention Strategy will be to the Mental Health Partnership Board (the governance of the MHPB is to the HWB)

AGENDA ITEM 14: EAST LONDON HEALTH AND CARE PARTNERSHIP

Work on the partnership (ELHCP) was linked to the emerging Accountable Care Systems and involved not just NHS and Local Authority staff but also the voluntary sector and organisations such as Healthwatch. Work was continuing on the payments systems issue and there would be further engagement on this.

A health and housing conference had been arranged for 18 October and thanks were recorded to Andrew Blake-Herbert and Barbara Nicholls for their agreeing to participate. A Flu campaign would commence on 9 October and a NHS winter plans campaign was scheduled for November 2017.

It was noted that the London Fire Brigade was keen to be involved with health work and include this in the Brigade’s visits to schools.

The report was noted.
